Look very smart, we bought 4 stools and will be okay with them.  Trouble with assembly with two of the stools, we had screws that did not go into their designated hole well when assembling legs.  One screw broke (no extras in package) and used our own screw.  The next stool, we were much gentler and still the screw did not completely tighten and you can see on the "completed stool" that the horizontal support to the legs is not properly fitted to the leg. One stool also had a mark on the upper part of the wood back, and I had to buy a wood marker to disguise it. The chairs are light in weight, so I assume that they will not last too many years. Wood is not entirely smooth, use clothe to wipe with wood polish, paper towels get stuck in the rough spots.  Could use a metal bar where the person's feet lean on the horizantal bar on the front of these high stools, but I hope it will not scratch, we generally wear socks in house.
