These are nice stools and they look fabulous in my living room. I got a great deal (63 off). Very pleased. I read some complaints about the quality of the leather...I’ve had leather furniture that is still around after 30 years...and some cheap bonded stuff as well.  The leather seats on these stools seems durable and I like that they are lightly padded they will soften over time. The seats were a snap to set up...nothing to it. They are sturdy and the comfort is fine. These probably won’t hold up as well if you intend to use them constantly (I can’t imagine why anyone would). They are for occasional use as extra seating or they can possibly be used as ottomans. Waiting on reupholstered armchairs to see how they would look as ottomans. Otherwise they will flank either side of a console as extra seating.
