So far so good. The chair seems sturdy enough, but only time will tell how long the locking mechanism will hold up. Honestly, the only thing I’m a bit upset about is the finishing on the “wooden” armrests. It’s a cheep vinyl sticker with a clear coat applied & it was most likely applied hastily because both chairs we purchased had imperfections/flaws on the armrests. The chairs are extremely comfortable and I love that they are oversized.
