The chairs are beautiful from a distance. However, one seat was cracked when it was delivered and now, 3 1/2 months later, the new seat came. Also, after 2 weeks, the arms on both chairs split so that the wood sticks up.  The curved wood that makes the arms so pretty is not actually bent wood which I had hoped it would be.  Instead, it is obvious that is is different pieces cut on an angle and glued together. The stain is wearing off as well. These may not make it through 1 season. This is poor quality.
