I've had these chairs for roughly two-three months and they are already dealing with wear and tear issues. Read a few negative reviews but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Eh. Wrong. Two out of the three have cracks ON the actual seat (the way the wood was put together) and I don't know what to do. I'm hoping I can get in touch with the manufacturers and get replacements because they're SO nice in my apartment - just not durable. I'm extremely disappointed, being that this is a bit on the pricey side and it can't even last. Would not recommend.
