I have now had these chairs in my dining room for over a year. They are very pretty and a perfect fit, esthetically speaking. They are also easy to wipe down and clean. However, they do rip and are showing wear and tear on the arms. If you have young children or put a lot of wear and tear in your dining room, these may not be a good fit for you. Most of my children are grown and we only use our dining room on Sundays, I will have to replace a couple chairs soon.
