Bought 5 of these barstools for my 10' bar. I am 5'3" and can manage to get on the stools before adjusting up, which is great as I cannot climb onto most barstools. They are beautiful, very sturdy and extremely easy to assemble. Care in packing is obvious as there is padded protection all over the chair, including the feet. Would recommend to anyone looking for an industrial, farm house or country style barstool. Both the seat & the back are comfortable, even for a large lady like myself.
