I wanted to see a picture of the 300 pounder sitting in those chairs.
They look great. Good job.

Hey - glad it worked! Very interesting - I'll have to keep that in
mind.
Thanks for the update,

They look good!
I am glad to see you added the diagonal piece; wouldn't have held 100 pounds
without it.

That's one nice dining set you have there :-) and it goes well with
the room - for my taste.
