I bought these stools knowing full well that they aren't the most durable things out there. I needed a set for my new condo and didn't feel like spending a fortune - these fit the bill pretty well. They look exactly like they do in the picture and I haven't noticed any flaking/peeling of the chrome exterior. The seats are comfortable and the height adjusts as advertised. There are only two main gripes I have with the product, but they are not a big deal at this price point:1. The seat "drops" about 2 inches when you sit on it - the air pressure (or whatever is holding it up) isn't strong enough to have it not "drop" when you initially sit on it. It's not a big deal, but sometimes people react funny, thinking they broke it or something.2. They aren't 100% sturdy. You're not going to fall of or anything, but there is the teeniest wobble in the stands. Like I said, I didn't expect these to be the most durable barstools, and they work great for everyday use.At the price, you can't do much better for these types of stools. If you're looking for something that is functional, good looking, and affordable, look no further.
