These lose one star based on comfort... the edges of the stools are a bit more pointed than I was anticipating so theyre not for long term sitting as an adult (like when playing a family board game), but if youre sitting on them to have a meal then these are perfect.
These are sturdy little stools that were very easy to put together - make sure you dont tighten the screws fully until youve got it all put together! They do state it in very small print in the instructions but its worth mentioning here as well.
Overall were happy with this purchase and we actually ordered a total of 4 stools for our island.
The picture shows the seat with a slight depression and the description states
Contoured Saddle-Seat Design
The classic stool provides a more comfortable sitting experience thanks to its subtly contoured saddle-style seat. Featuring a wider surface than a traditional stool, it distributes your weight more evenly, alleviating back strain and providing better balance.
There is no depression - it is a straight, flat board and looks very uncomfortable to sit on though I havent tried it yet.
Easy to assemble. Sturdy and mine fit well. Easier with a drill and Allen key bit. Rubber mallet for the plugs. Maybe a sander if you need the legs perfectly level - I suggest you sit on it at its likely position if it seems uneven. Has a bit of give to it I think. Maybe a few unnoticeable blemishes but what do you want for this price. Fast delivery.
I love this bar stools, its perfect for underneath my island in the kitchen. Everything came with it, it took me about a couple hours to put it together. But thats maybe because Im not that handy
The stools have a distressed look, at least that is what I am telling myself. They will work fine for my purpose. These will be used in a vacation rental so the markings will not bother me after some uses. They were okay to assemble. Most of the problems were my fault. For the price I paid they are great.
Good set of affordable stools but make sure when you assemble that you TIGHTEN EACH SCREW AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN. When you think you have them as tight as you can; youre wrong. You need to tighten them again until it pains you. If you do not tighten them as if Hercules himself would, then there will be gaps between the wood/screws. Once you have that figured out its a good set of stools.

Value option
Definitely value. Good price but small imperfections such as one was unlevel, small gap between leg and seat.

TIGHTEN EVERY SCREW AS TIGHT AS HERCULES HIMSELF WHEN ASSEMBLING.
