All in all they are working out. The one negative thing I would say about them is we bought six of them and they are covered in this blackbrown pleather vinyl stuff and the buttons have popped off. We have been hot gluing them back on but some of them just aren't repairable. We'll probably put something over the holes but everything else has been great. The buttons themselves are the only issue and they've been popping off with just regular sitting on them. It is what it is though. I'll find a way to repair them. It takes a great product and makes it just ok. At first we thought maybe it was just one but then they started popping off everytime someone would sit down on a stool. We've only had two nights where everyone was sitting around the kitchen island together. The buttons have been popping off since the first time anyone sat on them. I didn't see anything about this in the other reviews so it's not really something I was expecting.
