I ordered these for an office as an accent chair. This is in a private office at a work place and doens't get used frequently.  It is a homecare agency and only minimal office staff comes in and uses it while mingling or visiting.  It didn't even last 10 months when all the legs broke off.  There is no one over weight at the office or anything that should result in this.  I would expect longer use of these chairs and them being more durable.
