I waited until the stools were in use for a while before entering a review. First, the assembly was not difficult and took about 1/2 hour per chair. I am very pleased with the style and look. To date, they are holding up well. The seat is a good size and comfortable. The only issue I had was that one leg (out of 4 chairs) came short causing a wobble but that was quickly resolved by contacting customer support. A replacement was sent out promptly. 
 It took me a while to find bar stools that I liked and these have not disappointed.
