We are very happy with our new stools. They were easy enough to assemble, only needed to attach the backs. I put them together and I have neuropathy. The backs are not high, these are a low back stool but I knew that when I ordered. The higher backs were not available. The are sturdy with a 300lb weight limit. The foot rest are molded not screwed on which was a great surprise. We are using these around our grill bar shed and they look great against the galvanized tin.  We hope they hold up to elements but we are very happy with them.
