These bar stools are very comfortable, the swivels are for now nice and smooth. However 4 stars for assembly difficulties. 3 went together quickly with no problems but 1 had a mis-aligned notch cut in the leg, it wouldn't align with the lower frame correctly. Another had an issue with attaching the seat assembly to the frame, one of the screw inserts was off by 1/8" so that stool's seat is attached with 3 out of 4 bolts.
