My husband & I bought 2 sets. Overall the bar stools look very nice and we are happy with them, especially for the price. They were relatively easy to assemble. A few issues we noted though were 1) the screws that were included  to secure the cross bars were not long enough. We put them in and the would not keep the bars from moving, making the chair unstable. I ended up going to Lowes and getting the same screws but longer in length and this fixed the problem 2) after the chairs were assembled some had a slight wobble to them. This was fixed by adding a small protective pad to the bottom of the leg. For our purposes they work out well but if you are looking for really sturdy bar stools, you may want to look into other options.
