I got these b/c we quickly needed outdoor stools on the cheap. This meets the bill. But they are not very comfortable. I'm 5'4", and I think the seats are a bit deep or the footrest isn't high enough. I tend to dangle, and the back of my legs start to hurt from the bar that goes across the front of the seat. Perhaps a taller person would have better luck. However, they are holding up well in the elements (on a covered deck) and look nice.
