"These chairs are really a good buy for the price. Unfortunately, I paid full price for these chairs in November, only for them to go on sale for $40 less per chair after Christmas. I'm not terribly happy about that, but oh well. The seats are firm enough that the cushioning doesn't collapse, but soft enough to be comfortable. Believe me, I sat in a lot of chairs in a wide range of prices. They fit very well with my contemporary Asian decor, but will work well in almost any contemporary decor."
