I love these stools. I use then for a band practice space, great to play guitar or bass on. I like being able to put my feet on the ring. 

Pros: Sturdy, looks great.
Cons: Hard to assemble, the legs need to be bent slightly to allow the rings to fit. The instructions say to assemble in a certain way, I found a better way that is the opposite order the instructions recommend. I tack the small ring in first then the big.
