My husband and I were searching for some outdoor stools for our tiki hut.  It was challenging because anything we liked was very expensive, and we were in need of six.  I came across these, and honestly, I wouldn't have looked twice if it weren't for all of the positive reviews.  I'm glad I did.  These stools are VERY comfortable and seem very sturdy.  I say 'seem very sturdy' because we haven't had them very long and I'm interested to see how they hold up.  We've already received compliments on them for how comfortable they are.  I would definitely recommend these.
