The chairs are cheap and you can sit on. Although I am not an expert, I doubt that the solid wood frame is. Otherwise would not have been thick sprayed with paint, but a wood structure visible. But all of that is acceptable. What really bothers is the incredibly intense, toxic smell of artificial leather. These chairs are not to use out of the box, but must first airing several days. All this criticism, despite ...... who is only willing to pay some money, like me, who may also just do not expect good quality, but must be satisfied with sufficient.
