From a visual standpoint, it's stunning. The problem is in the structure of it. There's no crossbar on the bottom to support the weight of individuals. We bought around 8 of these for our MedSpa, and 4 have broken due to this issue. We live in a very fit, athletic city, too, so it's not due to obesity issues. You just have to be very careful with these chairs and not put much weight on them. I'd love the manufacturer to add a cross bar to the structure the ties to the legs to make it a longer lasting chair. It kills me that we have to replace them, because they are so visually pretty.
