The chairs are beautiful in person and the metal is very heavy.  These are really good CHAIRS.  I don't know why they are listed as bar stools because they are almost the same height as my dinning table chairs.  I don't know any bar or counter short enough for them.  I ordered the 24 inch because that was all that was available.  I'll reorder the 30 inch when they are back in stock and use these chairs for a sitting area.  After I put them together there was no way i was going to tke them apart to return them,
