I ordered seven of these stools for a new kitchen.  They are as cute as can be but, I am kind of disappointed that they are not sturdier.  Hopefully, they will stand up to a house full of adults and little guys.  The other concern I have is the fact that they have a warning label that informs you of harmful chemicals including Toluene.  A lot of home products contain chemicals so I'm trying not to get too crazy about this.  I tried to research this but can't get a definitive answer. We will use them in an open area and they really don't make contact with bare skin so hope it's ok.
