OMG! I love, love, love the bar stools. The assembly was quick and easy. I had someone sit in them to try them out and he sat comfortably during breakfast for about 45 minutes (He is 6'4 and approx 260lbs). I was skeptical because of their sleekness that they would lack comfort and durability but he was comfortable and so was I. I love the aesthetics because they can blend well with anything. They are perfect. I will update the review after 6 months regarding wear and tear.
