I am very please with the sturdiness of these chairs - and I like the style and the seats,
the only thing that I wish they would have is some carving on the inside top rung of the chair and that is really so they would blend better with others I have in a second home
which I hope to blend all in one someday - I will mix every other one for company for 
extra seating so it will look great anyhow but that is the one thing missing on these new
chairs.  I would highly recommend other than that and it is only for a personal reason that I give a 4 star rating,
not wear ability.
