Main Dowel snapped in half the first time I sat in it (125 lb woman)

Well, it completely broke in half the first time I used it. We hung it up, I sat down on the chair, and the main dowel spreader (wood) snapped right in half. What?! And nope, I'm not heavy... I'm 125 pounds. What the heck. That's dangerous.
I'm trying to contact the seller for a replacement but Amazon wants me to ship the broken thing back, which is almost not worth it because I don't have a printer or a mail outbox or a car handy, so it's kind of a pain. :/.

Other than the thing breaking, the chair looks and feels nice. But it snapped in half, soo.... one star.

Yikes I'm nowhere near the 300lb weight limit and after a couple of months occasional use this thing is on the verge of collapse. The metal where the legs attach to the top seat is quite thin and easy to bend, so if you sit and lean or do anything that puts weight on the seat other that straight directly down on it from the top, the whole thing can bend askew. I'm throwing it away because I feel like it's going to snap or at least bend away while I'm sitting on it if I shift my weight.

After almost one year, the post where it meets the bottom of the seat has been breaking apart and now it's a matter of time before needing to replace the chair. Maybe a week or two. If you are 235 or maybe even less, buy something better and more sturdy. EDIT: Customer Service was wonderful! Fixed in no time. Thanks Rudy!

just got around to putting this thing together.  as i screwed the top shelf on the hardware holding the shelf on broke out of the shelf (currently trying to glue it together to at least be able to USE it)  then i turned the cart upright and A WHEEL BROKE OFF!  not where i screwed it in but an entire soldered piece of metal busted right off.  so i had to take the wheels off to make it kind of level but the other three legs still have the metal piece soldered in to im going to have to figure out something there.

ive bought things for 1/2 the price that are 10x more sturdy

I was delighted to discover this beautiful product about a year ago when I had just redecorated my bathroom because it matched my new decor perfectly.  Although it was a little pricey, I decided to indulge since it was for a rarely used guest bathroom.  Now I wish I had saved my money and effort.  I have been extremely cautious with the care of this toilet seat, but just before Christmas when I had a friend over for lunch, it broke completely into two pieces between the two hinges during normal use.  How embarrassing for me........and for the lady who was using it!!
So a word of caution, don't buy this item unless you plan to never use it and only want it for looks.  Because it is made of resin, I am assuming that it cannot be repaired, so I guess I will need to dispose of it.  MONEY WASTED!!!

The Desk is good, but the stool broke, the leg just snapped and my daughter who is 12 fell over. If they sent a replacement leg I could fix it... Now I need to buy a stool...

This set worked great for about a year and a half, but the table collapsed this morning while my 19 month old was sitting there eating breakfast. It appears that the factory applied glue wore off, and it appears that during the manufacturing process two dowels were left out. These would not have been dowels we used for assembly-they must have been omitted earlier in the process, when the glue was applied. Anyway, we loved this table and I wish it weren't broken, but there you have it.:-(

After a measly 4 months, this chair is already broken - it leans left, seems like something broke inside the mechanism.

I weigh 180 pounds and sit on it very regularly, but that was four months. Four.

Nice chair with great color but, the wooden part snapped clean in half the second time my 90 pound daughter sat in it.  Not sure if faulty or just bad design.  First hanging chair we have gotten, as we have used hammocks in the past.
Addendum: Seller promptly refunded total cost, so if it looks good to you you don't have to worry about that.
Does not appear to be weather resistant (water or UV).  Seems more kid than large adult sized and if large adult then wooden cross piece should not be used to get in or out of chair. Think "could I do chin-ups on this and not end up in a YouTube fail clip". There is a reason it's called the law of gravity. Note the potential for quality control issues.
2 Stars for hammock because .. Hey it broke.  4 stars for company for prompt refund. Obviously I'm rating the product I received not the company.

6-MONTH UPDATE (1-STAR): Now that I've used this stool every day for just over six months, I'm sad to say I can't recommend this product. After daily tightening of the screws to keep the stool stable, I resorted to drilling holes and using long bolts with lock nuts. This only helped for a few days before it started wobbling again, albeit less than before. Last night a rung broke completely. Save yourself some aggravation and bypass this crappy stool (ha!).

3-MONTH UPDATE (3 STARS): This stool is the perfect size for my needs, but unfortunately the screws holding it together constantly back out. As I use it every single day, I have to tighten them just about every other day. On a whim, I tried gluing the pieces together before tightening the screws, but as expected, it didn't work. My next step will be to drill holes and thru-bolt them with lock nuts. Also, one of the button tops popped off recently. So not the best quality.

ORIGINAL REVIEW (5 STARS):
This is the perfect height to allow me to rest when I'm working at my standing desk. Color and finish are nicer than I expected, and the unstained wood grain highly resembles farmed mahogany (very light in color, but the stain is very dark). Easy to put together -- everything you need is included. The padding is even more comfy than anticipated (though I wouldn't want to sit on it all day long).

I am no expert at putting together furniture, but I think I am pretty good since I have been doing it for 25+ years. This is very poorly engineered... the place where the top and bottom section come together is a clear weakness and the first time I tried to stand it up it basically collapsed. I was able to repair it visibly but the product was still too unstable to use. A quick trip to the local hardware store got two 1"x3" studs and drilled them out and used some #6x1-1/4" wood screws to attach it to the back and it was fixed right up, although lining up the screws was a chore and we missed a couple times, causing some visible damage, but the end result was acceptable. Had I bought it locally I may have thought about returning it, but since it was mail-order I improvised and won this time.

Hinge broke after a week. Had to repair but holding good still.  Seat hinge would be the only questionable part as it relies on almost no weight on it in order to work. Put a few more screws laying around into the 1X2" board piece and you will thank yourself for reinforcing the seat section for the experience. I put 1.5" screws in (8 more to be exact) just make sure you don't put them too close together or youll split the wood.  Good luck!

This is my first review after purchasing thousands of items through Amazon.  I have sat on this chair a total of about five times.  It is in my home office.  I have been remodeling so I just unpacked it last week. I leaned back to grab something off my credenza and the back snapped.  The piping is hollow and as sturdy as soft pewter. It is too late to return it as I purchased it 2 months ago.  If I could have given zero stars, I would have.

Initially I really liked this toilet seat. It seemed solid and sturdy, unlike the plastic seat that came with our new toilet. But we've had it for just six months and this morning it just cracked in half while my husband was sitting on it, hurting him. He is not overweight (6'1", under 200 lbs), and neither am I. We don't have kids, either, so no one is banging on it or slamming it (not that that should matter). I am very disappointed in this product and would NOT recommend it to others.

I purchased this chair after reading positive reviews and seeing it on sale. After having a bit of a fight to get it together (everything was a bit on the snug side, but that happens with chairs) it worked well for a few months. However, recently I sat down in it and the entire back of the chair snapped clean off. The metal just above where the screws connect the back of the chair to the bottom snapped clean in two. Yes, that would be a point of stress for a chair, but it is clearly a sign of some REALLY cheap metal to have it just snap off. I'm not a small man, but the chair is rated for a 250 pound capacity. A  210 pound man shouldn't cause it to snap like a twig. I've seen a great deal of office chairs in my line of work, but I've never seen one fail catastrophically like this one. I would not recommend this chair to anyone with a large frame or who is heavy, it is just a matter of time before it dumps you on the floor with a metal bar stuck in your back.
