I bought two of these and was beyond pleased with these when they arrived. They were simple to put together, and looked stunning in the front room of my house. They look even better in person! We've had them for under two months, and they've only been used a few times, as they're in our entertaining room meant for guests. Sadly one of them broke while a teenager well under the listed weight limit sat on it. They were occasionally sat on before by others, so I'm not sure why it happened this time, and not others. If they held up better to more use, they would have been perfect.
