So far…. These are really nice and quite comfortable. My daughter fell asleep in one of them while reading, so that was a good sign. You do have to put them together. Instructions were well done and not too confusing. Sometimes it was a little awkward screwing it together. The material is a type of poly resin which I was happy with. I looked at a lot of wooden chairs, but I knew after a couple of years I’d be disappointed with the wear and the upkeep. Fingers crossed that I’ll still be pleased with them in a few years.
