Purchased for my senior mom and she loves it. Easy for her to get in and out of and guests are comfortable in the chairs. She had seen this set at Big Lots for a higher price but only had stools. She likes the mix of chairs and stools (the set we purchased). The quality is medium not high end for sure, but sturdy. Since she has a calm household it should last but I would think a rowdy family would have this falling apart in a year.
