Time will tell how well these chairs hold up. They replace almost identical chairs that suffered sun damage (we live in southern Arizona and the chairs are in our sunroom). They were very easy to assemble with no issues in terms of parts not fitting well.  The chairs are not as cushioned as our previous set, but they're still comfortable, and also the right height. They are also a bit smaller than the set they're replacing, but that seems to not be a problem.
