My Inlaws Have Sets Of These Chairs We Borrow All The Time For Holidays. When We Remodeled Our Basement We Put A Small Expandable Table For Playing Games. Normally When Closed We Only Wanted 2 Chairs, But Have The Ability To Expand To 4. I Didn'T Hesitate To Purchase These As They Are Very Sturdy, Good Looking And Were On Sale. I Know We Will Get Many, Many Years Of Use Out Of These.
