We love our new kitchen bar stools! They are nice and comfortable and very well made. They are heavy, not inexpensive and light weight. The compliment our farmhouse kitchen perfectly. They replaced some very hard metal ones, we wish we had bought the new ones sooner. I did have a few issues with assembly. The nuts that hold the back of the seat in place for shipping were tightened too tight and one had to be cut off. Otherwise, assembly was a one strong woman job.
