The construction is not the best but for the price this is a steal. I would NOT recommend this chair if you have kids as being rough would rip the fabric. I bought 2 of these and 6 table chairs same type and color. Some loose threads and defects on each one so be careful. Also 1 would not stay level. If small imperfections bother you I would NOT recommend this chair. Those who rarely use chairs and don't mind some defects and just need some chairs to take up space I would recommend this chair. I had a table with no chairs for 3 years before finding these.
