Super sturdy! My husband is a heavy guy so we needed some solid chairs. Only thing I would say is that I thought I ordered the beige colour since my invoice says ‘parsons chair in beige’, but that’s actually the title of the listing! So just be aware of what colour you’re actually ordering haha. We got the colour azure and it’s quite pretty! Kind of like a dark teal. Being a neutral loving girl, I think I still would’ve preferred the beige, but the azure is growing on me and it does give our dining area a nice pop of colour :)
