We liked the simplicity of these bar stools; they look very nice, are comfortable and  swivel smoothly.  Deleted a star because they were a nightmare for my husband to put together --- and he's a retired engineer with lots of building, etc experience.   Each one took at least a couple of hours; the tools included were miserable things -- and you can't sub out other tools.  Ick.  Only for this reason would we not buy them again.
