I'm happy with these chairs for the most part. However, one of them dide break. The spring was not tightened & the way they're mounted is pretty cheap wood, so when you lean back the armback rest fell apart. I was able to repair it with some better wood & tighten the spring, I'm a woodworker myself, so I fixed it better than it was. If I'd have known to tighten the spring beforehand it probably wouldn't have happened, but there were no instructions to do so. They're still good chairs, just that one issue.
