Excellent value for the money.  Stools were very easy to assemble and are surprisingly sturdy.  I plan to recover the seats as the tan/beige color is too plain for my taste.  Only negative I have is that I wish they swiveled more easily but I can live with that.  I was looking for 3 chairs, with backs, to fit at my kitchen counter and there is nothing out there in the marketplace that could match this value.  Very pleased with this purchase.
