I am really enjoying these chairs. Our last dining set had hard wood chairs and I cant believe how much more I enjoy sitting in our dining room now. Even our kids WANT to sit at the table for meals now. I did strip the finish off of the legs before attaching them because I was hoping to make them match the antique table we bought in a natural finish. I couldnt find chairs with natural legs at a decent price so I decided to try doing it myself. The black paint came off easily with Citrustrip, but I think I couldve just sanded it off. I gave it a very light stain and varnish and now these chairs are exactly what I wanted. The wood under the paint is actually really pretty. I think the chairs will hold up pretty good, but weve only had them a few weeks now. Great for small spaces.
Small and comfortable
