Some people say these furniture items are not durable. How are they built? Are they sturdy or are they flimsy?

It is ok but certainly not high quality. We have had the set about a year and are pleased for now. I would equate the quality solar to pieces I have seen at Ashley furniture stores.

They're solid wood and they are quite sturdy. I thought they were awfully light at first but now that I've had them for awhile I am quite satisfied with the wood and the construction.

The chairs have been reasonably durable. We've had them for less than a year so hard to asess durability for now. We are small people so they have served us well, but the fit may be an issue for larger size people. These chairs are nice looking and of reasonably decent materials for the price. Hope this helps.

My chairs are durable, quite sturdy, don't know about "all the time" sitting. also, I am very pleased with this purchase and have had no complaints about them at all.

Hi Jane,The chairs are okay. But probably not long term sitting. Also they are not very sturdy but I use them as counter seating so it's fine. They do look very nice though. And fairly easy to clean. I give it a 7 out of 10. Hope this is helpful.

They are not sturdy enough. My then three year old broke every piece at least twice ( we glued them several times). I recommend getting ones that are solid pieces like plan toys furniture.

The chairs are actually pretty sturdy. The construction is solid and as long as you assemble the chairs correctly, they should hold up for moderate use. In a sports bar setting, the chairs should suit your purpose. I would caution you though, if you have rowdy patrons that want to continually stand on the support bars, the chairs may have a shorter life span, but I'd imagine that would be with any non-metal framing.

I would say its not VERY durable, but its ok.. Have had the chairs a couple of months now.. with a wild 5 year old climbing on them daily.. the biggest issue i see is that the veneer on them is very thin, and if you bang the wood against the counter top at all it will chip in small spots.. for me its not that big of a deal because it can be touched up.. but its still very thin veneer that is being used here.. the rest of the stool seems pretty sturdy.

We've had ours for almost 2 years now. Its holding up well. Lots of storage space. Drawers are glued, hardware is ok (not great, but not bad either). Particle board - but higher quality heavy built. Its about what you'd expect for something this size in the $1000 - $1500 range, we paid ~$1200 for ours. Overall it was definitely worth it for the price... saw other places online trying selling the same item for $2000 - $2500, not worth it for that price range.

I bought this set about 2 years ago and it has held up well. It is REAL WOOD and that was one of the reasons I bought it. I have 2 boys now 10 and 16 and they are rough with furniture. It has normal wear and tear but has held up really well.

I have had mine about a year. So far it is very sturdy. I use it daily as I have no other table.

I'd say better than IKEA quality. I've had mine for two years now and they are in terrific shape. Unless you going to be moving them around a lot, quality isn't really an issue.

They are holding up just fine, one of them came with different pre-drilled holes in them, I had to go to Home Depot to get different bolts to attached the legs, making a return of both chairs, seemed like a hassle, so I just kept them, the rails are NOT identical. Other than that they are sturdy. Good Luck!!

We bought it as a kid's bookshelves, it has been great but it is not very sturdy as it is cheap, the "wood" cracked after a little bit, we end up dumped it after a year or so. We did put lots of books on it, they are very heavy, I think if you only want to put light items on it, it should be ok.

They are pretty sturdy. My grand-daughter always wants someone to sit with her and we have had no problems!
