This was a gift for my sister who wanted some nice flooding chairs. We just received them so cannot comment on durability, but they look great coming out of the box. Delivery was prompt, arriving earlier than expected after we were told they were on back order. Unfolding the chairs is a bit difficult, though I assume it would get easier over time. Very sturdy, handsome chairs. Would not even think they were foldup if not for the visible hardware underneath. Overall very impressed with the chairs. Price appropriate. We bought some chairs for ourselves from the same website shortly after.
