These are not good for a busy family who actually plans to sit on their barstools.  The assembly was difficult and the final stools wobble and seem like they will break at any moment. The red paint is pretty but chips instantly - these will have a distressed look in no time at all.  You get what you pay for with these.

Pros: Pretty color red and nice style
Cons: Not durable, chip easily and not at all sturdy
