These stools were quite nice when I purchased them in February, but by August they need to replaced.  When you sit down there is essentially no cushioning under your thighs. The seat cushion padding simply collapses under regular use, and neither my wife nor I are heavy.  She weighs about 120, and the seat cushioning on her stool has sunk so much she can’t comfortably reach the countertop.  The stools still look just fine, but the cushions do NOT hold up, and they way they are constructed makes it impossible to add additional cushioning material to the seat.  I thought they were perfect when new, but now I would advise that you not buy this product.
