The chair is great. Sturdy. The fabric is durable feeling, although we've only had them for about 2 months. But they seem to be able withstand the use of our children's jumping, spinning, and occasional snacking. My only gripe is that when the chairs came in, they smelled strongly of some type of chemical or plastic. We even left them outside for at least 24 hours before we brought them in to let them air out and that still wasn't enough to get rid of the smell. Our house smelled like the chairs for about two weeks before it went away, and then continued to smell while we were sitting in them until about two weeks after that. But now that they have aired out, the whole family doesn't have any issue sitting and working in our home office.
