The chairs are newly webbed, but not in the aestically best way.
Also the laquer was redone after weaving, but quite clumsy.
One chairs (with white) was tried to take the laquer off, but not so well...
So I would say, all sturdy, but also some work to do.
All chairs are pictured seperately also, so please take a good look on the pictures.
