I’m only giving them 4 stars because I think they are cheaper made BUT they don’t look it at a distance. I mainly bought these because I still am undecided on what I want forever at my bar and wasn’t ready to spend crazy amounts of money to get something I half way liked. Very economical and good quality for the money. They sit well. I’ve gotten several compliments on them. Would recommend but keep in mind, they aren’t 400stool quality. Easy to put together once you understand the assembly.
