I already had a set of these chairs from last year, so I knew these had the features I want already:Comfortable, stylish, easy to clean/maintain (we have one set indoors and one set odors), difficult for little ones to damage, AND elderly friendly! (An accidental but fabulous discovery!)We have two elderly family members with different physical disabilities and these chairs are actually extremely helpful for them! The slight, curved decline in the seat helps an uncle with left-sided weakness [after a stroke] not slip forward in the chair and the "wings" on the back helps him keep upright, (he has some ability to stay upright, but does eventually start to lean left). The seat height, sturdy plastic, and side handles helps them both, (including my mother with horrific arthritis in her knees and shoulders), with getting into and out of the chair. I decided to switch out ALL of our dining chairs for these because I LOVE the look and LOVE that they make visiting just a little bit easier for our elderly family.Things to know:1. If they are outside, tilt them forward when it rains, otherwise the pooling water will stain the seats. (Or just get the black ones for outside.)2. If they do get a scratch or abrasion, some medium and fine grit sandpaper and hand sanding will get it right out.3. The black is STUNNING and not overbearing. I wish I had an excuse to buy the black for my own home, but it doesn't match anything. I have seen it in a clients home and it is so beautiful! The other colors are simply lovely as well and NOT neon. (I have one set in white and one set in red).
