Exactly as pictured and.solidly made. The seat is very firm and the slightly concave back invites you to sit back and relax while supporting good posture. The black velvet feels luxurious and yet, still functional.. The warm gold tone reflects the light without overwhelming…and perfectly complements my gold and glass dining table. Love the clean silhouette with the gently curved legs and slightly tapered back. The geometric tufted diamond pattern on the back opens a world of design possibilities to explore…. Timeless with a modern edge. Highly recommended. I ordered 2 pairs of chairs. The first set was delivered as promised second set was lost. Special thanks to Cyndi who identified the problem and immediately ordered another pair that arrived as planned. The top of one chair was scratched. The finish is intact so I didn’t return it. Nevertheless, Cyndi sent me a 10 coupon. She treated me as a valued customer, so I plan to use the coupon towards additional purchases. Overall, very positive first-time experience. Kudos Cyndi and Thanks Wayfair - you’ve got just what I need!
