I was looking for something different in a barstool but also wanted something comfortable and big enough to seat anyone with ease.  You cant go wrong with these.  They are comfortable. We werent going to put them together until tomorrow but one of the boxes came damaged so we decided to put it together.  They arent easy to put together but if you have two people, a small power drill with a star bit and remember to not tighten the screws and bolts til the end, you wont have any issues.  Oh also just keep turning the seat until you find the right combo of holes for the back.  We just love these.
