the barstools are great except the 
bottom ring under the seat bent and broke in places after 8 mos. of use.
we sent a notice with pics after the 3rd chair had the same problem.  they sent new bottom rings.  
probably would not buy this particular chair again.  we are rough on chairs because we use them everyday but for all 4 chairs to  break in same area on each chair shows they need to improve the quality in that area.  other than that we love them and still using them after replacing broken part.
