These stools are pretty well matched in quality to their price which in past 2 weeks has been between $83 and $126 on . Cant predict how long they will last- 3-10 years is my best guess. Dont even think of using them commercially.
Assembly instructions are good enough but not great. Doesnt take long for 1 person to assemble. Base is relatively light but 17.5 inches wide with no hint of being tippy. There is slack in the telescoping support tube that causes small amounts of sway but not disturbingly so. Footrest seems sturdy. Some reviewers consider height compression a defect (not sure I agree) but they do compress about 2.5 when my 180lbs sits on them.
They basically look good though there are some minor blemishes I think from the factory.
I do NOT find them comfortable! I think the problem is seat is too short front-to-back (Im 62). My 54 wife finds them comfortable. I doubt a well overweight person would find them comfortable given the curve of the seat bottom sides. They do work very well for the 42 height of my bar table. I just ordered 2 more for 4 total at my 36 diameter table. See the photos.
Okay for the price
