These chairs work well for average-or small-sized people
These chairs were fairly easy to put together, as I did them myself, and I am not an expert in these types of things. We used the arms for a while, but decided to take them off to give more flexibility in maneuvering the chairs under the table. We specifically built our new island table higher, to accommodate the arms, but in the end, the arms just made it more challenging with the table frame under the granite. The faux leather is soft and has cleaned up well so far. The chrome bases are like dust magnets, but do clean up easily. We were looking for something with some shine to go with the bling in the blue pearl granite and chrome lights overhead, so these work well. We were concerned that with the arms attached, they may not accommodate some of our larger friends and family, as these seats are not particularly wide. We have 2 and 4 year old granddaughters and so far, these chairs have been working ok for them. The 4 year old can climb up and down on her own most of the time, using them at slightly higher than counter height. I did purchase seat covers to put under their booster seats.
