I absolutely love the look of these! I would have given a 5, but specifically bought these to replace mesh chairs that tore after several years. I wanted something that will last for decades, just need paint or new cushions. Unfortunately, the seats are made from what looks like straps of leather like material under the cushion. I am guessing it won't last nearly as long as I was hoping for. I read the description very carefully, and didn't see this listed anywhere. I thought they would have metal strips there since everything else on the chair is metal. Hopefully they will last a nice long time.
