We just had 2 litters of kittens born this spring, and the mama cats began bringing them to the porch to play. The porch rockers were very dangerous, and I was afraid I would accidentally hurt one of the kittens, so I started looking for something stationary, and really liked the style of these chairs. The chairs went together quickly, and they are very sturdy and comfortable. My SO, who is 6 ft tall, says they sit a little low for him, but when he props his feet up on the ottoman, he's very comfortable. I'm 5'3", and I am very comfortable in this chair. We're both on the heavy side and these chairs support our weight without any issues. The bonus is that the cats love going under them to play, hide, and nap. I am considering purchasing the loveseat, and perhaps the matching ottomans. I'm really happy that they take up much less space than the porch rockers, yet they're also larger and more comfortable to sit in. I also love the neutral aesthetic after 15 years of painted white porch furniture.
