I purchased these bar stools for inside my home.  I wanted something that people could sit on if they were still wet from getting out of our pool.  Since the stool seats are not wicker, this was the perfect solution for the price.  I will admit, I had a heck of a time putting them together, could just be me.  I wouldn't say they are high end due to their weight, but they are perfect for our family and our need.
