I bought these chairs six months ago and had no reason to use them until now. I took them out of the closet and they worked great during dinner. When I went to fold one up to store again, the entire seat came apart from the frame. These chairs were not cheap and I expected them to open and close up without any problem. The second chair won’t even fold back up. As much as these look nice as extra seating at my dining table, they have not lived up to my expectations.
