We remodeled our kitchen and although we are now selling our house I felt the new owners should have bar stools to use when they moved in. I had two goals. They had to be stylish and sturdy and they couldn't cost too much. These bar stools filled the bill! They look really nice, can hold an amazing amount of weight and the price was reasonable. I liked they came as a set. My 13 year old jack of all trades put them together with no problem!
