These are great! I was looking for some bar stools that were sturdy, had a "back" but without being a large piece of furniture. The height is perfect and the seats are just wide enough without be overly large. The covers are a subtle snake skin pattern. They're really different from the run of the mill ball stools in a very understated and simple way - perfect in my place! They were delivered quickly and they were very easy to put together. They even came with the right allen wrench for the screws.  I haven't had them long so I will have to see how they hold up long-term but so far, I am thrilled with these.
