I purchased 6 of these for my bar and I'm satisfied.  They are very strurdy and comfortable and seat warms up quick when you sit down.  I'm 6' 2" and back of stool does sit lower on my back in kidney area and could be a few inches higher but they are comfortable stools and not complaints from my friends who have used them.  Other reviews noted packaging was poor and I agree packaging needs improvement but there was no shipping damage found on my stools.
