These chairs are lovely to look at but the woven rattan breaks easily.  I purchased six chairs and four of them have breakage in the seat.  Two of the four are the seats my husband and I sit in - we both have slight builds so it is not a weight issue.  We have 5 children and I would have expected the chairs the children use to have breakage.  I would not purchase again unless I was staging a home.  In the meantime I fashioned ballerina tie slip covers to hide the eyesore of breakage
