I looked at every bistro chair set available, most were too big or had a poor design or looked uncomfortable until I saw these two chairs, they're great and very comfortable. The back of the chairs are nicely upright with a slight slant which is what I wanted. I hate chairs that lean too far back and make it uncomfortable and difficult sometimes to get out of the chair. I also was looking for bistro chairs that had arm rests, great when relaxing and reading a book. The chairs are not overly big so they fit very nicely in my covered, center patio in my house. The chairs were very easy to put together, I decided to use my tools (deep set socket set-9/16th and 3/8th) and a good Philips screw driver instead of what was included in the parts bag, made it much easier and quicker to put together the chairs. The chairs are sturdy and well made, but not too heavy. I purchased separately a small aluminum table by the same maker which again was just the right size for a small center patio, unfortunately the table could not be shipped via Amazon to CA but I found another business that would ship the exact same table to SF. All I can say is that these two aluminum dining bistro chairs are of excellent quality and well worth the price.Update as of March, 2023, I just bought 2 more of these Bistro Chairs. They are so comfortable, nice to look at, and fairly easy to put together by yourself. These chairs hold up really well in all kinds of weather though Ido have mine cover when not in use. Well worth the money.
