I ordered these chairs a couple of years ago. They are quite sturdy and comfortable as well. They glide easily on the floor. The slipcovers are another matter. The fabric is thin, and when the light comes in at the kitchen windows, the legs show through the fabric. Although the performance fabric cold and gentle washes and air dries very nicely, the seams fray horribly. I zigzag-stitched the seams on all four chairs and this eliminated THAT problem. However, even with laundering on gentle cycle, “pilling” became an issue. Then I had to “shave” them with a hand-held sweater shaver. And, even though the slipcovers wash nicely, to look their best, you probably will want to steam them. This is all because I didn’t want the chemicals from the dry cleaning process in my home!
Another issue is that the slits at the bottom look very cheap. They are NOT pleats, which would have looked far nicer.
All in all, these are such a hassle to maintain! I just wish I could buy nicer slipcovers for the chairs.
