I have a small preschool and ordered these chairs because I have always found the company to produce high quality furniture. These chairs are durable and can withstand lots of wear and tear -- not like chairs that are made for one-child-use only. Just a hint: I ordered sold back and it's awkward to lift and move the chairs; profit from my mistake and order one of the cut-out backs. If you have the time, this company's furniture is great for painting yourself. I purchased the pine chairs and used a hot-glue gun to attach cut-outs. The look adorable and the children love them.
