These bar stools were VERY easy to assemble, although I worry a little bit about how stable/sturdy they will be. My guests and I have found them to be comfortable, but I don't know how well they would suit a larger person, since I have not had anyone weighing over 140 lbs. sit in them yet. The height adjustment feature is a bit tricky; it's best if you sit in the chair first, then adjust the height, otherwise they tend to stick or sink. The chairs look nice and the swivel feature works well.
