Was hesitant to order from internet, previously I purchased wood stools another supplier, they looked very nice but when they arrived I could see the engineering was poor, these were not durable and would not last.  In fact one stool had 2 different cracks out of the box.  I sent them back hoping to find better quality, while searching, realized one of the characteristics I could search on was weight capacity.  So I  narrowed the search for highest weight capacity 400 lbs + and saw this stool in the results.  Was surprised to see a decent looking stool in this category, took a chance and ordered 2.  They arrived earlier than expected and were very easy to assemble.  Was very happy to feel how much more sturdy these were compared to the first couple we tried and extremely comfortable.  Looks awesome too.

Pros: Built strong, also OK for for hardwood floors
Cons: A little pricier than I originally anticipated, but that is across the board for all stoools anyway.
