I was very skeptical about the durability of these chairs, based on the price range.  However, they are very sturdy!  They are very easy to assemble and are suprisingly quite comfortable.  The only negative thing I could say is that they are just a tad low to the ground.   However, they work fine for my table.  I love the fact that they stack because I plan to use them in a game room. When using the ping pong table, we can easily move them out the area for more room.
