I bought these two chairs hoping they would closely match 4 other chairs I bought used to go at my breakfast table. They are a bit taller and have a satin finish so they don't match too well. That is the bad news. The good news is they are absolutely beautiful. The finish is gorgeous and the chairs are made of heavy wood with a pretty grain that shows thru the satin black finish a little - very high end looking. They are also very sturdy and have a larger seat than my other chairs, great for a little bit bigger bottoms, comfortable. I looked thru all the packaging trying to find a recommended weight limit and could not find it. But they are very sturdy. Another plus - sooooo easy to put together. They are partially assembled so you just screw on the two front legs and the back and back legs are one piece, so then you screw that on. Total of 11 screws each and it comes with the Allen wrench needed. They sat evenly and no wobble. that is all good news. Another bit of bad news - I now want to buy 4 more chairs because I like these so much better than my resale purchase.
