Im going to sound like a broken record after all these glowing reviews, but oh well these chairs are amazing. Me and my 12 yo daughter have 0 building acumen between us, and we put 2 of these together in under 10 mins. They withstand weight from 100-300 lb with no problem. Soft and beautiful. Perfect for my new counter height table (also from wayfair). I dont know howd they do for bar height tables, as we didnt need to adjust them higher, but Im sure the mechanism works great! Buy these! Worth the high dollar price!
