The chairs are sturdy and comfortable. We've just assembled them, so can't say haw they will last. They would have gotten a 5* review except for the assembly. There is no way it takes only one person twenty minutes to assemble. Just holding the parts together takes one, while the other screws them together. The directions are poor as well. I would give an accurate assemble time as at least one hour for both chairs. Also the photo doesn't show which direction to lay the cushion.
