I love these barstools, they fit in our new kitchen perfectly.  Sturdy.  Easy to assemble.  One problem is a stickiness started developing on the seat of one of the stools after about 3 months.  Perhaps the finish coming off?  I've tried to clean it up with furniture oil/cleaner.  This helps somewhat, but I've just order cushions to cover it up, (and to add some color to my kitchen).
