Dining Chairs
I keep coming back to Crate and Barrel for my furniture needs. I purchased a Parson dining table and needed dining side chairs. I visited the Crate and Barrel store often and was intrigued by the Folio chairs. After shopping and browsing in other places, I discovered the Folio chairs reflected my taste, exactly. I picked up the chairs at the Naperville warehouse and have been very pleased with selection, quality of the product and service. The purchase was completed timely and without issue.

Love these beautiful chairs!
These chairs are such a great quality for the price. We have enjoyed them and they are very comfortable to sit in. The level of customer service that Crate and Barrel provides is unheard of these days. They did a great job with scheduling and delivery. Then, after delivery, we received a call from C & B asking if everything worked out alright as well as an email checking up a while after the phone call.

Chairs Good Returns Bad
Unfortunately I bought the wrong size of this chair and had to return and reorder. The process is complex and you must pay extra shipping both ways. word of advice - this chair is great but just make sure you order the correct height, If you don't you are screwed because you don't get any support from customer service and refunds are slow.

Makes me hesitate to buy furniture from them again
We bought 4 of these chairs in 2004 in red. For the first few years, they looked great. However, time has not been kind, as they have all but broken down - they are simply not built to last. First, the tops of the backrests have all split down the middle, exposing the chair's innards. Next, the plastic nubs on the bottoms of the legs have worn down and are now tearing up our hardwood floors. Finally, the red dye has started to come off - we have to warn our guests wearing light colored clothing to not sit on these chairs.
Needless to say, we are tremendously underwhelmed with the lack of quality for these products and are apprehensive about purchasing their products going forward.
Per their comments on this site, I see that they have made an attempt to correct this design flaw; that said, I wish that they could address the problems with their early folio purchasers.

Comfort & Quality
We ordered 8 of these chairs for our modern dining table and they really make all the difference! They are very well-made and are surprisingly comfortable. The one thing I noticed with them is that they can be a little bit tricky to clean but really it just takes a little bit of effort. Overall, I would buy these again and recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable, sophisticated dining chair.

Best Comtemporary Chairs!
I purchased 6 of these quality Ebony Folio Chairs to go with the Strut 70 Work Table, which are used for dining in a small modern/contemporary condo. These 6 chairs look and fit like they were made to go with this table! The chairs have a simple, classy, modern/contemporary look, and are solidly built. I have horrible posture, yet comfortably sit up straight in these chairs...Love these chairs!

Fits with almost all tables
These chairs really are versitile. We have the basque dinning table and use these chairs. They help to make the room feel a little modern and not so country. I have really enjoyed them although my father-in-law doesn't find them comfortable. I think they are plenty comfortable and besides they are not meant to sit in all night. I would get these again.

Sorry I bought these!
I purchased four folio chairs (Black, beige, red, green) to go with my glass round kitchen table. The red exactly matches the sofa in the adjacent family room. The set added fun color to my black and white kitchen. BUT - within months the chairs started to break down - leather cracking and peeling and sticking to peoples jackets etc. So far I have replaced the red, the beige and the green. Now the black one is starting to delaminate. My sofa is leather and is over 10 years old - receives the same amount of sunshine but has not decomposed. I can no longer afford to replace these one at a time. So far 7 chairs in 3 years. Furniture is a long term investment and for 250 dollars the chair should last more than 6 mos to 2 years. I am terribly disappointed in these chairs!

Multi-purpose chair
This chair is great - we have a few at our dining room table, one in the desk, one in the bedroom. Totally comfortable and multi-purpose. As such a great furniture investment.

Sleek and functional
We wanted reasonably priced chairs that were modern and sleek. These are perfect. They look great and they're comfortable and practical. They were delivered as promised.

Impressed at first
Our daughter bought ten of the ebony colored chairs; six for her dining room table and four chairs for her kitchen bar. We were initially impressed with her purchases and ordered four dark-chocolate colored chairs for our kitchen table and later ordered six more for our dining room table. Our daughter subsequently had trouble with the chairs at her kitchen bar breaking down on top. She has since replaced them with a product from another source. We are now having trouble with the chairs at our kitchen table. The outer layer of coloring is pealing off on the seats and reveals a much lighter brownish color coat underneath. That has happened to three of them. It has not happened to any of the dining room chairs yet but they do not get used as much. I, personally, have doubts that the product has any leather in it. After looking at the cross-section of the material on my daughters chairs that broke down and the way our chairs are pealing off in layers, I suspect that the product Crate and Barrel claims is leather is actually more like an old product that was called naugahide -- which had no leather in it.

Chairs and Stools a Perfect Sit
I have recently ordered and received 6 Folio side chairs and 2 backless stools for my dining area. They arrived within days (and I live in Alaska). they were packaged extremely well. They are beautifully made and comfortable.
The ordering experience was amazing. I highly recommend it. These items come in the greatest colors, too.
