The style is great and the price is hard to beat for anything that looks comparable. Sizing is good and will fit several people comfortably. I'm not worried about the "weight limit" of 250lbs for either piece- the issue will be if you are a "plopper" and tend to sit more vigorously. I could see that loosening the fittings and slowly degrade the integrity of the framing. It feels solid when assembled, but not unbreakable. Overall, 4 stars for the price, style and quality. Added durability would get this good pair up to a 5.
