Winsome Wood Windsor Chair, Natural, Set of 2

I was looking for four basic chairs to accompany an older 40" round OAK drop leaf table in my kitchen. Prior to purchase, I knew these were "natural" rather than oak tone; while the mismatch *is* enough to notice, it isn't enough to bother me (and I couldn't find an oak tone set in the same price range with reasonable reviews and free shipping). Since I've never ordered furniture online, I opted to buy one pair of chairs first, with the intent of buying a second pair if I liked them. Bottom line: I'm not sure I'll buy the second pair.

Pluses:
- Chairs were delivered via FedEx and well packed. Box had no damage.
- Basically sit flat and feel sturdy. One chair's flat; the other might need a very slim pad on one leg to even it out.
- Great price. I've been looking for something like this in local stores - and it's nowhere to be found.

Minuses:
- Not particularly comfortable. I'm a 5'9" slender female; the seat size is "perfect"...Read more

We are very pleased with our new chairs. I visited about 5 "bricks & mortar" stores looking for two, simple replacement chairs for my kitchen. No luck at all. I was hesitant to order chairs online, but took a chance. They are really sturdy, with cross bars across the legs. The wood is very well finished, with really nice grains. They are lighter than natural oak, but still match my oak table.

I read the reviews that said these chairs were on the small side. We didn't think it would be a problem since we're not large people. We can deal with it. They're ok for our purposes, but I'm only 5'6" (below average for a man) and I think they're a bit small. I don't understand why the manufacturer is making them this small unless it's because they're depending on people buying them based on the picture. If you are an average size man or larger, you don't want these chairs. The one advantage they have I guess is they will fit in smaller spaces. They're about the size you might expect for a bistro chair, which is unusual for a Windsor.
