Purchased these to use with my kitchen island. Pros: they look great and modern, they are very sturdy, they can be levelled using the little pads on the bottom, and they are quite comfortable (despite the fact that the cushion is not as soft as it looks); Cons: they weren't the easiest to put together and I assumed they would be better quality for the price (the underside of the bars and the seat are not fully painted the same colour as the rest, they MUST be levelled as they are not level on their own, and the pieces do not fit together as seamlessly as they should).
