Chair is not meant for everyday use. I have owned this chair for approximately 5 months and it constantly is falling apart. The brackets slip apart. The top (back) does not fit into the sides which is causing the back to slide out. I am constantly having to get up and set them back in gently and try not lean back so the chair stays together. I do not recommend this chair if you plan of using it to sit it on a regular basis. Its rather annoying. Especially with guest over.
