Cherry wood barstools are rich looking and of nice quality; they certainly look more expensive than they are. The swivel seats are heavy, with nice coverings, and they look like they could take a lot of abuse. One chair leg looked like it had been chewed by my Collie, but Overstock has been good about trying to get it replaced - even though I didn't open the box until a month after it was delivered. My fault there. Assembly appeared daunting at first, but the directions were easy to follow and, despite my stupid mistakes born of eagerness, I still got them together in a shorter time than anticipated.
My only complaint is the legs are not completely level. They would be fine on carpeting, but on the hardwood flooring they are off just a little. However, I am satisfied with this product to the point that I ordered two more of them. They really do add elegance your bar or kitchen for a more than reasonable price. And let's not forget the other important aspect of a good chair - They are comfortable!
