These stools are fairly cheap, and it shows. They seem relatively sturdy, but there are a lot of small cosmetic problems and some issues with poor craftsmanship. The pegs for the braces don't fit their holes very well, and one of mine had a split end which made it difficult to assemble. the seat base is hastily put together, so some of the diagonal braces that the screws are supposed to go into are not level and have lots of scrap wood still attached. Finally, of the 2 chairs I ordered, one of the seats was lopsided, so it was impossible to center. From a distance, it doesn't look to obvious, but it was annoying during assembly. Overall, I would go ahead and spend a bit more to get a more refined product rather than order these. 

Pros: Inexpensive, Look mostly alright when assembled, Appear sturdy
Cons: Poor craftsmanship, Broken parts, Difficult to assemble
