After extensively searching for the right bar stools for our kitchen / living room I ordered these. I settled on them primarily due to the price and the fact that they are similar in style and color to our counter height dining room table and chairs. They took me about an hour to assemble and it was a little difficult to get bars that go between the legs to fit into place. Once assembled they feel very sturdy. Overall I like them however they look a little smaller and daintier than I expected. The fabric covering the seat cushions looks and feels inexpensive and very thin so I’m not sure how long they will hold up. However for the price we do not expect them to last forever. Overall, we are happy with the purchase and just ordered an additional set for the other ½ of the kitchen / living room counter/ bar.
