We bought 4 of these chairs for an ADA table in a winery/brewery tasting room. We've used them for over a year now, and they still look like new. We use a mix of lysol and water to disinfect the chairs between customers, too, so there is no fading, cracking, or shrinking. The weight limit was very important in the decisions to purchase these particular chairs. Not a problem! VERY pleased and will purchase more as we expand.
