Somewhat conflicted on this review because I really like these bar stools.  The bar stools arrived and I love the look.  They were a pain to assemble mostly because of the odd angle where the screws needed to be inserted.  Took a bit of maneuvering pieces to get them set properly.  

The other thing that is the material on the back of the stool has already started to flake off.  Not sure how or why  but I already have the base gray color coming through and the top layer is deteriorating.

I bought these because they seemed durable and with two young girls who climb on everything that is highly needed.  But if they had a barbie in hand and climbed up on the stool, it would likely scratch off the top material on the stool.
