I think some of the negative reviews need an expectation adjustment based on price. These are fantastic for the price. They are an appropriate size for certain people. If you are over 200lb, these are not for you. They arent the most sturdy over this weight. I also noticed some reviews showing all the screws dont go in. If youve put together enough cheap furniture, you know to put all the screws in first before tightening them down. The screws will not fit right in the center which is why the insert is an oval. I previously was using some chairs that were more expensive than these and they were adjustable, padded, or easy to put together. By contrast, great bar seats cost about $150 per chair when I looked at local furniture stores. 2 of these for $100 is fantastic for the just being adjustable. Another thing, there are are other sellers of a chair that look like this one but arent this chair, they are smaller. Be aware of that.
