The stools look great and are comfortable and easy to assemble. The problem is the wood ‘veneer’, which is less a veneer, and almost more of a painted on pattern. It chips off at the very slightest provocation, like when the bar stool swivels and touches the edge of the counter top/bar.  Within 1 day, 2 of the 6 I bought have chips after very light contact with the edge of the counter, which is going to happen because they swivel.  I even went so far as to buy a polyurethane clear matte spray in hopes of putting a tougher layer on top to prevent the chips, but it doesn’t help.  Too bad, as otherwise these are great looking and comfortable, but I predict in a few months the ‘wood’ will look like a mess.
