We continue to be so happy with our selection. We had seen similar barstools elsewhere, however, the construction details were not as solid as these. We purchased a very nice bar, but we wanted simpler stools than the ones that came with it, (upholstered, over-embellished). These are perfect, because they compliment the fine looks of the bar, maintain the distressed wood details without being too much, and they are super solid. They[...] were immediately put to use!
