Absolutely love the style of these bar stools! They are very well made for the most part, but one of the dowels that inserts into a predrilled hole to make the framefootrest on the legs broke off during assembly. Looked like a weak point due to some imperfection. I was still able to put the stool together and screw it in, and it doesn’t seem to have effected the stability. Just a bit disappointing that there is a small defect. I think this is most likely a one off situation so I would still highly recommend these. They are beautiful, comfortable, sturdy, and good value for the money.
