We are finishing up a big kitchen,LR and DR renovation. We have a 9ft island. I searched many furniture stores both in person and online for counter height chairs. I read the reviews on these chairs and decided to take a chance. On Black Friday these were 60 off. I ordered 4 black chairs. They fit into the decor. They are heavier chair. And both my husband and my children are very comfortable sitting in the chairs. As others have said the swivel  is stiff. It does not hold a position. This does not matter to us. Assembly was easy. My 13yo daughter put one of the chairs together herself. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes a chair. And they arrived within 2 days. No issues. Love these chairs. They look good in my new kitchen.
