We have only had them a few days but I love them.  The colors are very vibrant.  I guess I was thrown as in the pictures they look like wood but they are actually a plastic composite material.  IMO - that's even better for our outdoor patio!  It took my husband a while to get them together - required drills, better screws than what was provided - but all in all they look great and I feel they will last quite a while.
