They seem strong. They came nicely wrapped. However, they are too tall. . I am keeping them because it is more trouble to return them. The bar stools were easy to put together. If you have a very high bar counter, this bar stool is for you.

We LOVE our new bar stools! We bought a new house with a really high counter and it needed stools. Our counter is 47 inches tall and we bought the 36 inch stools. At first, I was thinking they were too high, but after we got used to it, we are comfortable eating in this arrangement. I still would probably take two inches off if I could but my husband and I use them for every meal. We also bought a new dining set but we’ve only used it when we have visitors. These stools are super sturdy and well made. Definitely recommend!

I'd give these stools a six if I could! Well packed, easy to assemble, and boy, they look nice! Sturdy and very well made. Bought four of them and no regrets!

These bar stools came with a little discoloration. The back and front of stools back rails has a gold tone on each rail. The stainless steel finish does not go all the way to the end of each back rail. But I still love the color of the seats. Great match to my kitchen and island bar stools

LOVE-LOVE-LOVE! I saw these bar stools in our local furniture store and saved a ton by purchasing through Wayfair. Also arrived 4 weeks earlier than they would have through my local store. Although I like supporting local businesses, it just doesn't make sense when you have to pay 2x the price.
