The design of the stools is nice. They look like they could hold up to wear and tear. Time will tell. Did not give more than 3 stars as 2 of the 4 stools had flaws. One stool had dents on the back wood panels. Obviously it passed thru the manufacturer's inspection as some dents had obvious filler in the dents, some dents did not have any filler. The second flawed stool was about 3/8" shorter than the others. It appears the wood back was sanded lower than the others. We accepted a discount from Wayfair and will keep both flawed stools. The flaws do not affect the functionality of the stools.
