These are nice industrial-looking bar stools. The assembly of the ring took some head-scratching, but it all worked out. Wish there was a little give in the back rest - seems a little to straight up. The wood seat is comfy and the stools feel super sturdy. So, now I'm thinking we need to return these. When I sit in it, my bottom keeps sliding out. I need to work just to sit in it. Will be shopping for something different and more comfortable.
