update: In December these chairs cracked straight down the middle. I had a cabinetry maker take a clook and he said they had the wood grain running the wrong direction. This happened to 2 of the 4 chairs.... very disappointing. These are solid. Well made and quality wood. They look just like what I also see at high retailers.

I bought 8 of these less than a year ago and 2 of them have recently cracked/separated from normal use of 3 children and 2 average sized adults. I like the way they they look but I am disappointed that they are not holding up well.

The chairs are nice, however, they seem to crack easily.

Awesome chairs! Well built feels expensive

Beautiful chairs. Very simple elegant and clean look. I have three cats and 2 dogs so these works perfect! I love them! Great quality!
