I bought these chairs a year and a half ago and have put them through the ringer! For some reason in our small home we have just decided to eat at the kitchen island and not use a regular dining set. That means that these chairs have lived through every meal, newspaper reading, and work at home session. They’re in great shape still and look like the day I got them! We have had to tighten the legs once, but I will partially blame our Roomba (names Kevin) who smashes into them every night. :) These are great and super comfortable too!
