The stools are perfect for our bar. I love the dark stain. They are well made. I didn't want to purchase super expense bar stools because my children like to wiggle around too much. They always end up breaking the seats. These are so simple and sturdy I believe they should last a while! Also, when we ordered, one was damaged in shipping and wayfair sent me a whole new box of two and just asked that I donate the chipped one. I am more than pleased with the product and especially customer service! I will use them again! Thanks wayfair!
