these stools are fantastic. They are sturdy (last stools I bought from other source were very flimsy) and very good looking. The back hugs you very comfortably and so far my family, ranging from 100 lbs to 220 lbs have all found them very comfortable. Goes well with my mid-century modern motif. Would have given 5 stars but one of the 4 I bought came in counter height instead of bar. Wayfair is already shipping me a new one (within 2 days). I'm very pleased with this purchase and I researched barstools for months (literally!).
