For the price, great product. Have not used much so unable to comment on durability. Fairly easy to put together - much easier with two people in order to hold pieces in place while assembling. I would say quality matches price - on the underside (bottom of top piece), you can clearly see the stitching/staples. Not visible from top, so okay, but definitely reflective of price. These chairs look higher quality at first glance but will not likely withhold the test of time. A great in between piece or piece for a time in your life when you know it is best not to splurge (aka, small children!).
