These things are LIGHT! Maybe not great if you were putting them on carpet, but fantastic for our kitchen island counter. And they are so low profile that they don't even stick out from under the counter unless you pull them out. I was worried that the low profile would make them uncomfortable for a girl like me with hips or my tall husband, but they are perfectly comfortable for both of us. Easy enough to assemble once you get going -- but make sure to do a "dry" assembly first so you don't accidentally match the wrong legs together! And can't beat the price, even if you don't get them on sale!
