I received this bar stools a few days ago and so far I like them. The leather is supple and seem to be well constructed. Putting the rubber feet on took some muscle, but my husband used a rubber mallet to get them in place. I would say this bar stools are great if you are going for a minimalistic vibe, I used them under my kitchen counter that leads into an open concept living room/ dinning room area. I did not want high back bar stools to avoid obstructing my view and this ones work perfect, because they me some lower back support and at the same time keep the area open.
