These stools are super comfortable and very good quality. We've had ours for 8 months now. Very happy with them. I'd give it a 5 but the two complaints are  that the second the kids touch them you can see it... so requires a lot of cleaning but it does clean (bonus!) and the bottom screws seem to fall out often. They go right back in so it's not a major issue but obviously something we'd rather live without.
