Pleased with our new purchase! These bar stools seem well-made and fairly sturdy, and the swivel seat is great. We received our stools the other day, and my husband patiently assembled them. There is one tricky part in assembly, where the swivel portion has to be attached to the seat, but he managed to figure it out and get it done. A nice new addition to our home. They have a kind of "beachy" feel, which is what I was going for.
