I wanted to like these so much. They are really comfortable compared to plain metal chairs. However, weve purchased around 20 of them within the last year and nearly 13rd of them have broken. They are plenty sturdy for the dispersed weight of an adult, however, most of them have been broken by smaller children. Obviously, we dont allow  kids to stand in chairs, but sometimes it happens. Weve figured out that when kids (even 30-50 lbs) stand on them and bounce up and down, it immediately cracks the weave in the seat. Because I loved how comfortable they were, I continued to buy them hoping it was a fluke in just a couple of them because the weight limit is so high, but at 25chair, they just arent going to work for us any longer as they continue to break. We finally had to buy more solid chairs for the same price.
