Good value for the money.  Can easily support men over 200 lbs.  Concur with other reviewers about initial difficulty in assembly.  However, after figuring out how the first chair worked, putting together the rest went much faster.

The only negative, and a big one for me, was that I basically picked these stools because they were one of the few that came in oak color.  I needed them to match the oak bar I bought.  However, as others have noted, they came stained much, much darker than the picture.  In fact, they are close to a mahogany color.  I probably should of sent them back, but my bar came two weeks after the stools so I just kept them.  I'd give them a 5 for value but only a 2 for proper color representation.
