I purchased 2 of these chairs in July 2017. They’re really nice looking and have been great in my family room for several months. However, recently, in both chairs, my guests used their elbows to straighten up in the chairs and their elbows broke the wood underneath the fabric on the arms. I’m really disappointed that the chairs were damaged so easily. In both cases the guests were not big persons. The chairs are still useable, but now I need to tell my guests not to push themselves upright using their elbows on the arms.
