I am so happy with these bar stools.  They are really nice and feel sturdy and comfortable.  I'm going to ScotchGuard the seats since they are made of light colored fabric. My husband assembled all the chairs and he is very handy.  However, he cussed and sighed loudly through the entire process.  They are quite difficult to put together so if you are not prepared for a challenge then you may not be happy with these stools.
