PROS:1.These stools are as attractive and sturdy looking as they appear. They nicely compliment my brown sile stone kitchen island and would look great at a bar. 2.They have a wide seat base which is appealing since it's a backless stool and my young children can steady themselves on the seat, as well as adults. 3 Moderately PricedCONS: 1. The assembly wasn't too bad but the leather seat base is off center by about 1/2 an inch. When you look at it from standing above, you can see it's off center and looks misplaced. My husband said the holes would need to be redrilled to correct the manufacturing error. We decided to leave it as is. Though it is noticeable when pointed out, it's not a major problem. But at [$] stool, it's worth mentioning. Knowing everything I know, I would purchase them again because stools are very expensive and they are of great quality overall.
