These stools are comfy enough (time will tell) and seem pretty sturdy - 1/8 channel. Assembly is straight forward and easy enough but I recommend using threadlock. The tabs and pre-drilled holes to attach the seats were the downfall. The tabs aren't 90 degrees as they should be, I had to bend most of them to get them to seat flush against the seat. The holes are too far in, which put them on the edge of the wood supports. Luckily, there's enough metal there to drill new holes close to the edge of the seat so the screws can get a good, solid hold. Also, I used more aggressive 3/4 screws than the plain-jane 1/2 ones that came with it. Lastly, there is a little wobble in both stools - with 4 legs and imprecise manufacturing that'll happen - but not to the point that they're unusable or move too much when you sit on them... unless you rock back and forth.
Decent bar stools
