Great stools for the price!  Easy to put together! 300lbs. weight capacity is a plus esp when most guys are not under 200. Easy to assemble, not heavy.  On the picture before I bought them,  I thought the stem and the base was more of a dark bronz then the actual black. Black works for me , but I wish I had an option. The backs and the seat seem to look as they were 2 separate pieces but the are not! The faux suede leather is nice to the touch. If I needed more I would definitely buy them again!
