Yeah, mine too, very comfy. You often see sets of good quality repro's at auction, english repro's too that sometimes go very cheap. Naturally, you have to wait and hunt to find them that way. According to that english website above, i don't know if it's correct or not but i love the story!
"A set of spindle back Windsor dining chairs having a spur/crinoline stretcher and a double bow back form from Great Britain. Originally Windsor chairs were a rural/country chair found in the English countryside so they were made to be both durable and functional. The term spur/crinoline stretcher speaks to the evolution of the Windsor chair as it made its way from the country to the city. Used in the countryside, people naturally rode horses and would wear boots with spurs. The inverted half circle shape of the stretcher allowed you to be able to sit on the chair without banging your spurs into the stretcher. As the chair made its way into the city that same half circle shape was found to be useful for the ladies as they wore dresses that had skirts made out of crinoline therefore the back portion of their dress could be tucked up underneath the chair."
