We purchased a pair of these bar stools for a new bar-height counter pass-through between our kitchen and dining room.  They are the perfect height and comfortable to sit in.  Assembling the first one took a lot longer than the second, but it wasn't hard.  They are a substantial weight, but are quite sturdy and add just the right modern touch to our kitchen remodel.  I love how the metal frame matches our kitchen appliances and hardware for a very up-to-the-minute look.
