The price was cheap, and they are a little lightweight for barstools. I don't expect them to last terribly long, but they also won't get much use the way my kitchen is arranged so it wasn't worth me paying for high-dollar stools. 

They are definitely comfy and I'm pretty happy with them. I'd get them if you want stools that will get used now and again, but if you plan to use them a lot look elsewhere, they won't hold up to much abuse, i expect.
