The chairs are beautiful and I certainly hope they hold up. They take a good chunk of time to assemble, so beware. One chair, once assembled, had one leg shorter than the rest. Rather than dissemble it and return it, we just added two furniture pads to the bottom of one leg. We may still contact Wayfair to see if they can send a new one (not sure the pads will stay on very well!). Regarding the look, they are exactly what I wanted.
