We've had these barstools for a couple of months and we're very happy with them. We were concerned about having 3 of them at our kitchen island since the space there is a little tight. However, the barstools swivel easily and are very light which makes them easy to move and use. For our family, the seats are just the right size. Larger individuals may find the seats too small. The materials seem durable, however, time will tell.
