About the weaknesses of padding (dents, uneven seams, etc.) I see across for the money. Unfortunately, there was a so failed processed job in one of cushion that was formed a knot below the reference, whereby the reference on this point within a short time by agonized's top setting and slide down. Fortunately, this complaint was resolved immediately by sending a new cushion by the seller. Thanks for the quick and unbureaucratic solution. Unfortunately, the plates on which the padding / cushions are mounted, not exactly an angle welded to the uprights, and therefore the seats wrong something. That bothers a bit (optical) if the bar stool next to each other.
But despite all the criticism you have to keep in mind that both stool only 70, together - costs Euro. And the stool is easy to assemble, are stable, and you sit in a good mood, and the adjustment and the seat height is great.
All in all, provide the aforementioned positive and negative characteristics, combined with the lack of first pad, and the price paid 3 stars: Not bad for the price, if you can live with the optical swabs.
