For the price, I'm pretty happy with these stools. The seat is a little on the small side for sitting in for a long time, and quite hard (this is expected). We've been using the stools as our primary dining seating and I wouldn't recommend them for this purpose, but we'll soon be using them as typically expected (breakfast/supplemental seating) and I'm happy with them for that purpose. Looked exactly as expected and very easy to assemble.
