They look great, easy to put together. I bought them (in cream) for my future kitchen island. Only I have been waiting for months for the backordered cabinets for my kitchen renovation, so I haven't been able to use them yet! So I can't comment on comfort or sturdiness, although they did feel good when I tested them out just sitting in them for a little while.

Update: I didn't use them right away because I ordered them way before the kitchen island was installed because of remodeling delays due to backorders. Just after a few weeks using them, you can see that the wood overlay gets scratched off if you swivel to far around when getting out off of the bar stool, hitting the counter top. I'll try an cover them with some scratch cover and hope it doesn't get worse. Not recommended if you have children or careless young adults!
