I've only owned these for a couple of weeks so I can't comment on durability but I am very pleased with the chairs! First of all, they came exceptionally well packed. There was no damage whatsoever and the were clean. Each cushion is covered in plastic and all corners and feet have a cardboard wrapping. It's a pretty white and the cushion is neutral, more of a grey beige than a yellow one. I was ordering these to save memory compared to ones in a well known catalogue brand and but I think the quality of these may exceed those and the price point is great!
