This stool was a great purchase not only for its style option - you can mix and match this with a rustic, modern or industrial look, but also because of its quality. You can tell the metal is high quality. They are sturdy, but not heavy. Additionally the wood seat makes them slightly more comfortable (and IMO more stylish) than some of it's predecessors.   

Pros: Value, Style, Quality
Cons: Would love to see more metal/wood finish combos!
