We are very pleased with these bar stools; so glad we bought them. The chair's farmhouse  design and black color wood color look very good at our kitchen breakfast counter. The bottom horizontal bar allows a smaller size child to get up, and the chair does not tip in any way. The fabric is pretty durable, and we also put a spray fabric protector on the seat. For perfectionists, an inexpensive removable seat cover adds even more protection against those "messy little guys." It can be removed as desired and  machine washed . Not difficult to assemble. My husband put it together and did not yell even once:) Wish it cost a little less, but glad we bought it.  Very good quality product, does not wiggle or come apart and does not look cheap.
