This 25” Patio Bar Stool is a pretty solid piece. It came fully assembled since all the pieces seemed to be welded together. It was a lot heavier and sturdier than expected so I anticipate it lasting a good while. It was shorter than what I expected in comparison to the outdoor bar height but that’s my fault for not measuring. Still waiting to see how it will withstand the outdoor elements but I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a solid outdoor piece of furniture with an industrial look.
