These steel chairs are definitely well made, I believe they will stand the test of time and the weight of myself or my family members. They are rated for a 330# load. I had first ordered a set of four aluminum chairs form a different source, not wayfair. This source does not put load ratings on chairs. We are not small people and within a week they were bent and distorted and I was afraid they would collapse injuring myself or my family so we sent them back. The only reason I did not give these steel chairs a five stars rating is that two of the chairs arrived with dents in them.
