These work perfectly for our kitchen bar in our small apartment. I'm able to comfortably fit 4 across because there are no arms. They look fantastic in the space and assembled very quickly and easily. I assembled all 4 stools in about 10 minutes, by myself. The instructions were very simple to follow and it was very easy. 

Aesthetically, I couldn't ask for more out of these chairs, my husband feels like they may not be suited for someone his size (250 lbs) but I love the stools and think they're a great fit. I can see how a larger/taller person may feel they aren't very sturdy but I'm short (5' 2") so they work great for me!
