So far, they seem like very solid, sturdy chairs. They’re a beautiful design, and just what I wanted. I only gave 4 stars because the color is described as ivory, but unfortunately, I find it to be slightly darker than i wanted. It’s more of a light oatmeal color rather than a light bright ivory. I can see how having a ton of light (if you get that much in your house) would cause them to look as light as the picture. Keeping them anyway because they still look very nice around the table.
