I bought these for my dessert cafe. We're not super busy, and it's a very casual place. We've been open for 5 months, 4 of the chairs have completely separated from the base and I have about 8 others that are in some stage of doing the same. I would have expected something like these to last a least a year... but 5 months? On the plus side Wayfair did completely refund the purchase and I'm on the hunt for something new.
