Way more durable and heavy than I expected. I works perfect for our hanging chair. Super easy to install. The first one showed up severely damaged. The packaging is not designed to be delivered through multiple shippers. I cant image this thing showing up undamaged, the packaging is horrible. Wayfair replaced it and the second was damaged as well, but not as bad. Either way, it will show up scratched so plan to patch it up with a can of primerpaint spray.
