The chairs are very light but they seem fairly strong. The finish is not at all glossy, which kind of helps when you sit on them you don't slide. I will probably put pads on them as they are cold when you first sit down. Customer Service was excellent when I contacted them.The four chairs arrived today. They were very well packed. All four chairs are even, not a wobble or short leg anywhere. They are very well made, the joints are welded so even when the kids tip the chairs back on two legs, they won't brake them. They look good with my very vintage kitchen table and they are very light weight, which I love. The reason I gave them only four stars for comfort is my fault as I forgot they are metal chairs and they are "cold" when you first sit on them. Other than that they are comfortable. If you old like us, I suggest getting a cushion unless you like to be shocked awake in the morning! So far I am very happy with my purchase. You get what you pay for, and these chairs are worth the money.Comfortable and tough; my boys haven’t wrecked them yet (which is amazing)!Be 100% sure you are going to keep these chairs, because if you decide to return them, the seller makes you pay. It’s $134 to return them, since the package is so big. At that point you’re practically forced to keep them! Not a terrible chair, kind of light weight and doesn’t seem too durable, but they didn’t work out for the restaurant I ordered them for.2 chairsOut of eight legs, one was not the same length as the others ☹VERY GOOD COPY OF A VERY GOOD CHAIRI bought these chairs for my high magnetic field laboratory since they are made of aluminum except for their shoes. I found them very sturdy and light weight about 7 lbs so I bought another pair for home use. I use them for both indoor and out. They are reasonably comfortable and does not wiggle around.Very comfortable. Light weight.
