I've had these stools for 5 months and they are already falling apart.  The nails holding together the foot rest fall out and the wood is stripped (we screwed them in one time but over 5 months they just fell out).  The chairs wiggle so much when you sit on them that you feel like the chair is going to break any second.  We use these chairs at our island and they don't get used that often.  It is concerning that these chairs are already this broken after 5 months.  They started breaking around 3 months of on and off use.  Do not buy these if you are looking for a product that will last.
