We have had these for a little over a week now, and have been VERY happy with them.  We have a very busy household, and these are used in the kitchen ..."the hub", and are proving to be a very good addition.  The stools were very simple to put together, they are sturdy (withstand 250 lbs+ easily), quite comfortable,  little sticky finger marks clean off the cushions well, they are designed well (not too heavy to easily move in and out from counter, but not so light that they tip over easily), AND they are very attractive.  I would recommend these stools as a good value for function and design, and would definitely consider buying from this manufacturer again.
