I bought cheap barstools from another company less than two years ago. They are already breaking apart. I wanted to get better quality chairs at reasonable prices. This bar stool fit the bill. They are good quality and look well built. They were easy to assemble and look just like the picture. They seem to be very hardy and are better than I expected. I bought 2 sets (4 chairs). A couple of the chairs had one screw that was a little harder to screw in. After a little bit of manipulation, we were able to make it work without compromising the integrity of the chairs. 

Pros: Beautiful, hardy, good quality
