They're inexpensive and you get what you pay for here so they're not very nice. They're wobbly at high heights and the black plastic part that protects the sharp edges on the telescoping middle piece will occasionally fall down which is both unsightly and dangerous for fingers. If you're looking for a cheap set of stools that looks nice that you're not going to use often I would say these will work fine. If you want a solid bottom that's sturdy and are going to use them often, look elsewhere!
