I was excited to order these chairs for my wife and I to use in our kitchen. When they arrived, everything was in order except one thing; the height of the stool. If you need a 24" stool, DO NOT get these. They are about 23" assembled, and once you sit on the pad, you lose another 1" or so.. my wife weighs a whoping 92 pounds, so I doubt it's a weight problem. We have other counter-height stools that are a couple of inches taller than these, and we are going to just order another set of those. The quality of the chair is nothing special, for the money it looks fine. Just make sure you are okay scraping food right into your mouth off the counter, because you are going to be sitting lowwwww in these bad boys.
