The stools are a great price.  My kids sit on the all the time to eat at the counter.  They have held up well but I did purchase seat covers so the velvety seats don't get ruined.  The screws on the legs come unscrewed a little and need tightening from time to time.  It's not the highest quality stool but that's what you get when you purchase a cheaper stool.  It holds us adults well and very sturdy when sitting on them.  They are pretty light weight so be careful with kids getting on and off that they don't tip over.   The swivel is great and we haven't had any tip overs yet.  Even my 3 year old can climb up and down safely.
