These stools (counter height purchased) constantly receive complements. They coincidentally happened to match our farmhouse butcher block kitchen counters, and are heavyweight Acacia Wood. They sit solidly so kids won't easily tip over in them, and the seat is large and comfortable. The legs are also wood, as we expected metal, but look good painted the charcoal color to look like cast iron or galvanized steel. Height is not adjustable and the seats are fixed and do not swivel. The only issue we had was during assembly some of the bolt-housings were not where they were supposed to be, and some of the bolts would not screw into their housing so we had to McGuyver our own solutions. The QC on these products could be improved but we are still pleased with the final result.
