this stool look fabulous when we first bought them and we enjoyed them for the first few months until one day one of them just decided to claps with the footrest falling down to the bottom and becoming detached from the seat. The chair was put in an upward position and is now stuck there as the inner rods that attach to the foot rest have snapped off in two places due to poor welding. This stool is now garbage and stuck in the upward position. I definitely regret spending money on them.
