The chair is quite durable. However, the two chairs arrived without the two nuts that secure the seat to the legs. I called the source, as instructed, and explained. Two weeks later I received the nuts and a wrench. Unfortunately, I received two nuts, not four. I purchased two chairs and needed four. I have since secured the other chair with nuts bought at the local hardware store.I am noticing some signs of rust, especially around the welds. I'm gonna keep an eye on this...hopefully it won't have an adverse affect immediately on the durability of the chairs.
