So far so good. At 110 apiece they’re way more expensive than others on the market, but I like the squat base and I’m hoping they’ll hold up and not break like other people’s have. It’s not really distressed black in person, more like a dark brown and i can’t tell if the seat is actually made out of wood. The seat raises and lowers with a gas tube. I generally prefer the ones that spin up and down because they’re easier to maintain and keep forever, and I wouldn’t have gotten this if I’d realized it was a gas lift. Even so, it’s perfectly fine. Doesn’t look like a 110 chair, but I’m sick of paying 30 per return to Wayfair and the price is low enough on the chairs that I feel like I’m better off just keeping them given the return fee.
