These stools are comfortable - especially the bit of back support.  Love that they swivel!  And the price was almost obscenely low.  No defects in my well-packaged chairs.  Assembly was a snap and a one-person job.  Some reviewers complained that they were too light and didn't feel stable.  I'm using them at counter height and they feel quite stable.  I had similar swivel bar stools that were from the fancy pants store (and cost $1,200 each) - the base was quite heavy and this was a major problem as moving them at all was difficult.  These stools can be slide around easily and the bottom of the stools have a protective strip affixed that protects the floor.  Way better design.  I do wonder about the width of the bucket seat.  We are 115 and 160 pounds and fit in the seats but I think that much bigger than that might be uncomfortable for the user.
