overall it is a nice piece of furniture. when you sit on it, you can feel confident that nothing bad will happen, it will perform well, especially for something of that price, because sometimes we the cheap people want quality without paying the price (lol).However, when closely looking at the plastic used inside the tubing (cylinder that goes from the seat to the base), you can tell it will surely give up on you if you use it frequently.Love these chairs. They are exactly as pictured. I purchased four for our basement bar. They are easy and quick to assemble, and the light grey color is exactly what I wanted. HOWEVER, the seat itself is a bit narrow. It’s not for big booties, that’s for sure. I’m not obese or extremely overweight, I just have some junk in my trunk. My thighs spill over the sides. So, for my big booty friends, these are not for long sitting sessions. They will serve their purpose and they are aesthetically pleasing, but you won’t enjoy sitting for a long period of time.This chai r was all that I expected. Easy to assemble. Comfortable. The color was true to picture. Would purchase again.DHPBUnfortunately, I had to return them. In the picture they appear pure white and are also described as such. I have pure white dining chairs in the eat in kitchen near the island where these would go. I also have white quartz counter tops so this off white color is immediately noticeable. Other than color,the chairs seemed solid for the price. The back stitches were kinda funky, but it's also a 60 something dollar chair. The back is a lower profile and will not even go half way up your back, if that matters to you. They are comfortable in general, but I need my chairs to be true white!Was very easy to assemble , but the bottom nut that was was meant to tighten the stem to the round base was made of plastic and too big to tighten it to the base ...Easy to put together, it’s a heather gray - not too dark and not too light. Super comfortable.Good for the money. Needs a little more cushion as the padding is a little thin and doesn’t provide much softness.I've gone through a lot of stools over the years and this is, by far, the best I've ever purchased and the easiest to assemble -- just 4 screws and you're done (and you won't have to do it twice if you line up the foot rest with the seat back :) !! The base was very slippery on my tile floor but the rim on the base was wide enough to accommodate 4 of those little rubber bumpers that I had on hand so now I can easily get on and off without sliding around. Height adjustment was a pleasant surprise -- very easy and very smooth once you figure out that you have to sit on the stool in order to lower it. I would definitely buy this stool again!!Easy to assemble and very comfortable!
