Very sturdy, nicely finished stools. I ended up buying a total of 4. Swivels 180° and stays put so you don’t have to struggle with it. Returns to original position as well. Seat is comfortable and the distressed, off-white color goes well in our kitchen. They took a little extra time to ￼assemble - you need the correct tools - which is why I gave it a 4. Would definitely recommend.
