Buying online is risky. You can't feel the quality or test the sturdiness. These stools are awesome! We wanted very study counter stools with a back that could swivel. These hit every mark. The back is comfortable, which makes it versatile in our little apartment, we have it at the counter and swivel it to the living area when company comes. Our granddaughter was ramming a toy car into the back of the stool and it held up very well. I highly recommend these stools. They were fairly easy to assemble, but we placed the foot rest ring on upside down and had to redo it. I believe these stools are well worth the cost.

Husband put them together with no issues. Sturdy and comfortable to set in.
