These bar stools are very nice for the money.  I had trouble finding a "non-swivel" bar stool, and I really liked the way these looked.  As others have stated, the chair pad is quite thin, but it's fine for the money.  There were a couple of nicks in the brass finish, but they are not noticeable as they are on the very bottom of the stool.  All in all, I am happy with these stools as they were inexpensive, and I don't have alot of visitors that will be sitting on them.  They look great, and are adequate for me.
