We’ve had these barstools about 5 months, they are used daily at our kitchen island and have held up well. Only one chair had a screw that came loose after a few months and had to be resecured with glue. The fabric is excellent quality, all seams, piping and buttons still look good as new. There is occasional pilling that occurs around the edge, due to friction against jeans, but I’ve been able to scrape it off. I especially like the silver metal piece that protects the foot rest on the front, it’s great protection from wear and tear on the wood.
