Ive had them for about a month now. So far so good. My goal was to get a stool sturdy enough to be safe for 2 rough elementary school kids and will last long term. Metal with wood accents was the key. On the other hand, several reviews said that the screws come loose after a while so I went ahead and bought Loctite. **The key to legs that arent wobbly is to slightly hand tighten the screws and have someone sit it in as you tighten them well. Be careful as not to strip the small screw holes.
