They’re well made, don’t worry about the few minor dents and scratches, they’ll eventually get to that point. They are sturdy, perfect for an industrial setting or barpub. Only problem is for me is that because of the small back plate, it constricts my legs together to where I cramp up and that plate sits right on the worst spot on your spine. It’s not a bar chair for everyone but you still have the option of removing the back plate, so that’s good too.
