Just as advertised! The stools are in fact heavy duty and adjustable to fit a table that is at standard counter height or higher. The best thing about these chairs was the set up, while the boxes were big and took up the entire front porch it was all worth it to literally take it out of the box, turn upside down, put the back on and you were finished. They are comfy for sitting while gathering or having a game night or conversing while a meal is being prepared. If you are looking for a wide range of adjustable height in a stool with a machined/older look these are perfect.
