These bar stools are okay. The upsides are that the stools are lightweight and comfortable to sit in. The downsides are that they are difficult to assemble (the foot bar is very hard to align, and the screws that hold it in place are next to impossible to get in all the way and keep backing out). Additionally the paint has already started chipping off after only about 2 months of use. Granted, I have kids, but still I'd like my furniture to hold up for more than a couple months without looking chipped.
