I’m not sure if these are intended to be used outdoors or indoors but I bought them for my kitchen island. They are a little itch on bare legs but I’m hoping it wears in a little. Otherwise I love the look of them. I like the texture that it adds to the space. I wanted black stools but didn’t want something that would be too overwhelming in my smaller house. The rope design keeps it interesting and not heavy. Well packaged and fully assembled.  Very happy with the purchase!
