Not sure what some of the "bad" reviews are about because these stools are great for the price, especially getting two! the seat is actually really comfy and the back rest is a perfect height so you feel like you actually have support, which a lot of barstool chairs do not offer. I think they look modern and elevated, but because it's not solid wood, the back of the chair will dent when it collides with another surface like a desk or bar top.
