I conducted hours of research before selecting a bar stool. These arrived promptly assembly was simple and minimal. I am very happy with these as is the rest of my family (adult children in their early 20s).  The fact that my kids noticed the stools and liked them should tell you all you need to know! These are substantial bar stools.  They are solid and steady.  I am planning to add a felt pad to the leg bottoms to avoid scratching of the wood floors.
