I used some old pieces for my bar front and back bar.  These give a nice mix of style, old and modern.  My teenage son put them together with no issue.  I havent had any guest over yet to see how they support some of my big and tall relatives.  For the price they are great.  The base seems a little light weight, certainly not a commercial weight chair.  I am happy with my choice and they are as pictured.  Mechanism seems to work smoothly.
