I’m pleased with the counter stools. They are sturdy and reportedly can support 300 lbs. My husband had problems assembling the stools; one of the holes was too deep. He persevered and was able with much effort to assemble the stools. We have been using them for a week and are pleased with them. My nearly 5 yo granddaughter is especially pleased and sits on a stool at the kitchen counter for her breakfast and lunch.
