Initially I LOVED theses chairs.  A couple of weeks in the scratches started appearing from just normal water and tear.  Honestly, it takes very little to scratch these.  “ I’ll paint them in the spring, “ I thought.  Since November, I have had to tighten them ALL at least twice (it is January now) as they were so wobbly I was afraid someone would get hurt.  And now I have to tighten them again.  They just won’t stay together, and we are NOT hard on them.  

Very disappointing purchase. Will be buying higher quality chairs VERY soon unfortunately
