Not very sturdy, cheap seat construction. The cheap wood under the seat makes creaking noises like an old wood floor if you shift your weight around. I weigh 165 (average male) and the chairs are very noisy. Considering returning. If you're looking for seats in this price range (as I am), consider looking for seat with a sturdier (visible) wood support directly under the seat. All the support on this chair is around the exterior of the seat, making it creak badly.
