I ordered 2 of these chairs in large size. One chair has stayed together just fine but the other collapsed on me. We had issues with the support bar on the bottom not staying put. I am lucky that my husband is mechanically inclined. He put small bolts in every joint and the support bar. The support bar does have a lot of stress as do all of the joints. I love these chairs! But they will most likely need some additional reinforcement. I find them extremely comfortable and I think they will last some time now. The lumbar pillow and foot stool is a plus in there comfort but are still very comfortable without them. The large size chairs are big. The cover actually can not be taken off to launder but spot cleaning will work just fine. I hope this review will help in your decision. Again...I love these chairs but because we had to do additional steps with reinforcement, I can not give more than 2 stars. Its just a shame the manufacturer did not go the extra steps to put a great product out there. We will reinforce the other chair as well just to be safe.
Awesome Chair BUT...
