We asked this chair to perform at an indoor commercial application, and sadly it has not done very well. The chair itself looks good, but it's not very durable. We have had issues with the wood piece atop the dowels pulling off, and legs breaking at what appear to be weak points in the wood. We suspect some of those issues arise from extreme wear and tear, so we recognize that this rating might be unfair to the chair. It probably wasn't designed for a busy commercial dining area, and would likely work best in a residential setting.
