I got these for my kitchen counter.  It's a tight space because there is a walkway to an outside door behind the stools, so I was looking for something that wouldn't stick out too far when they are pushed in.  They work great for me in that sense.  The assembly was easy & they were packed really well-no damage what so ever! They are fairly comfortable-not uncomfortable-but I don't think I would want to sit on them for a really long time.  If you are going to have big guys sitting on these, I would look for something else-I feel like if you were to lean back too hard on the seat back- it would break.  Overall, they look nice for the price...not too pleathery cheap!
