These stools are actually very nice and sturdy. I was hesitant at first with reading the reviews on them. The legs might look skinny and cheap but what do you expect for $52 a stool. Of you want aomwthing more heavier looking than these are not for you. I love them and the cushion on them is also very comfortable and nice. They look perfect in our kitchen! 10/10 I would recommend.  It took me like an hr and 15 minutes to get them all together.
