We had looked at other tractor seat barstools in stores and online, but none of them had the versatility of the adjustable height as well as the footrest. We needed them for a new bar we had custom made for our deck. Not only are they practical, as far as barstools go, but they come in a great color red, that happens to match the trim of our house perfectly. My husband put them together easily, and although there were 2 parts missing, they were items that every handyman keeps in his tool chest.
