Very sturdy and good quality but they are very uncomfortable to sit in. I will probably replace these eventually for that reason.I literally love my bar stools so much! Exactly what I have been looking for! I receive so many compliments on them whenever I have company over. Overall super happy with my purchase ?These bar stools were unbelievably uncomfortable. It’s made for people who don’t have much to sit on, lol. You can’t even open your legs because it’s so confined. It feel likes your sitting on top of my bars without…. Yeah these just weren’t it.. aesthetically, it was okay but comfort and durability… a negative I’d give it less than one star if I could.I cannot say enough good things about these stools. They are absolutely beautiful and very sturdy. They assembled with four screws (super easy) and they’re so comfortable. I have children and it seemed like they were always falling off of or tipping over our old barstools and I have not had this problem with these. I like them so much I ordered more!! You won’t regret this purchase!These are nice, but I didn't measure my counter and they were too high. The seat is large enough for an adult, and it feels sturdy. The color is gold, but not gawdy. I recommend. I had no issue with no return.Great design. Great product!
