I have purchased and assembled quite a few HDPE pieces of outdoor furniture and give these swivel stools the benefit of my doubt with three stars. Main reason has to do with not having the four “foot rest” beams countersunk (they are flat-to-flat and only held by one screw on each side). While this design may be adequate for a shorter stool, the taller “bar height” stool requires most folks to use these foot rests to get up on the stool and I seriously doubt they will hold up. Other than that, they are decent quality and design.

This was painful to put together. Used a screw gun as there was not much room once you got the D rungs in place to attach the E rungs. But in one instance screw #1 went right through, had to back that one off. All in all not a bad stool for the price. The selling point was the swivel but in actuality the seat is not large enough to be very comfortable.
