I use these at our kitchen island on the raised side of our kitchen island. A great replacement for a cheap metal set we bought from a retail store. Definitely adds a lot more class and style, and these feel very solid. One complaint though is some of the bolts we needed were not included. We received these as gifts from several people for a party and whats odd is half of them had a standard allen key and others had one that was much easier to use that was able to fit within the small spaces created by the crossbars and beams in the seat. This is definitely a great bar stool.
