a nice improvement on the heavy bar stools we had.  These are nice lightweight yet feel sturdy.  Swived feature works well.   I give it a 4/5 only for 2 reasons- I would like to have 4 and they only come in 3's.  The other reason is the back "wood" (which is metal and fine by me) is not a solid bar... so you can see the hardware in the back and it obviously a hollow open metal piece across the back.
