We were so excited for these to arrive but unfortunately, when they did, we were very disappointed. Flimsy is a word that springs to mind. They looked like very stable stools but base does not support the weight of the seat very well, which makes it very tippy. My husband can’t use them at all - admittedly he’s 6’3” but I’m 5’6” and experience the same thing. On a positive, the seat is as pictured.
