I am a plus size woman in my late 50's and wanted to get some heavy duty swivel barstools for our new home.  We needed counter height stools for eating at our kitchen island.  After much searching online, I decided on these, where are exactly as presented online.  We have used them every day for every meal for a month, and I am very pleased.  Well constructed and sturdy (hubby assembled these - took him about an hour and a half with breaks).   The only drawback I experience is a slight tilt forward.  Not bad, but the foot rung is nice and sturdy and helps with balance, which at my age, can sometimes be an issue.  Easy to mount and dismount.  We sprayed each chair with 2 light coats of scotch guard, and thankfully, have not had any spills yet.  I foresee these lasting well into the future.  Great deal if you can catch them on sale.
