So far so good. They seem sturdy. I put them both together myself. Took about 2hrs. I thought it was a PU type of faux leather but it’s not. They are very comfortable. Just need to keep my cats away from them. I’m also not a small woman so time will tell if these hold up. The directions were very easy to follow. No missing parts and the holes all lined up nicely. The toughest part was screwing in the bolts that are really close to the bottom of the seat and the legs. I had pretty sore fingertips by the time I was done with both chairs.
