These breakfast island or bar stools are easy to put together and just right for our grandchildren to sit at our breakfast island.  They are easy for me to move around.  I sit on them when I'm cutting vegetables for stews or soups.  Our grand children us them when they are playing game on our family computer.  They look nice and need to be tighten every once in a while - but the instructions mentioned this.  I would recommend these benches to those who are looking for a simple yet elegant look in their home.
