These are perfect for how I want to use them. Living in a tiny home, I have little space for entertaining. During the day I have a wheeled, portable office in the living room, but when I have company, I put the "office" in the bedroom and bring out the stools for seating or as tables to hold drinks or nibbles. If I open out my drop-leaf table, they provide seating for 4; 2 extra chairs makes it possible to have 6 people for a meal. They're easy for outdoor gatherings, as well. A smart purchase.
