The stools themselves seemed to be good quality for the money and were easy to assemble myself in about 30 minutes.  Plus shipping was very fast!  But I returned them.  Ultimately they simply felt too short for my bar height which is 43".  Though I could comfortably sit at the bar, I would not be able to comfortably use a laptop there without having posture issues.  I'll be buying other stools that are 33" - 35".  Though we don't often think about it, those inches make a difference.
