This design of chair is ideal for kitchens, with daily use, as they are well constructed, with twin supporting spindles, making them a strong design. This is a harlequin (matched) set and therefore there is some variation in the colour and size of the chairs. There are no breaks to the backs or legs of the chairs. The chairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble. They are well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
