Wanted something in my living room area with a different texture, material than wooden legs, worked great. The seat is really large and cushie, love the swivel seat. It was complicated for me to set up so I had a workman put it together, it took him about an hour to do both. 
I really had to search for value, price and most of all height. My counter is 47" high and these 34" bar stools worked perfect.

Pros: Great value, heavy weight, nice swivel, beautiful appearance, tall
Cons: Rather wide (if you dont have the space), lots of pieces to put together
