I normally buy secondhand, antique furniture (much sturdier) for a fraction of the price, but I thought these were attractive and didn't want to wait for months to find what I was looking for. They are quite lightweight, have cheap looking cushions, and the screws need to be tightened frequently (yes, it is put together correctly.) A screw that attaches the cushion just fell off for the 3rd time. In other words, I can't say I would recommend these.
