Nicely built chairs, that seem sturdy.  Padding on the seat and backrest is adequate and comfortable, although compared to my other bar stools, these are about 1 1/2 inches higher, and a little difficult to seat onto, unless you are a 6 footer.  I may resort to cutting 1 inch off each leg to bring them down to a more comfortable height for me ( I am 5'7").    The fabric seems quite durable.  I do recommend these bar stools which were a great price compared to much of what I had shopped for in the the last year!
