Ikea lovers: bar stool question

[Muushka]

I saw these counter height bar stools on their site

Does anyone own it or has anyone seen it? The price is great, but I am a little hesitant about the quality. Thanks!

I have seen them in the store every time I go. They seem really sturdy and I've had a lot of luck with Ikea in the past. I'd get them.

I have those chairs, not in bar stools though.

I have had them for at least six years, and I love them. Dh and FIL are big guys, and they held up well. The only issue is that the wood is a little soft, so if you have buttons or something on back of your jeans, they may leave a mark. I had the seats covered with pillows for a long time until I changed up the decor of the dining room. I would buy them again.

I have those chairs too and have had pretty good luck with them. My adult sons tend to lean back on the back two legs and they did break one at the area where the seat touches the legs. The Seat support broke. I just drilled a hole and ran a screw from the back of the chair leg to the seat support and it has held together for about a year now.
My sons are 33, 31 and 27 and they still sit back on the chairs, I have gone through many chairs in their lifetimes.

I've had mine (white) for 4 years. They are very sturdy and durable. My kids drag them all over the kitchen, climb on them etc. They have withstood constant scrubbing. They hold up my big bottom with no difficulty. They don't wobble or sway. I love them. Actually I want to hoard a second set just in case these ever break (I'm afraid Ikea might discontinue them and that gives me a mild panic attack.

My husband really hates Ikea furniture but he has no problem with these chairs.

Well, all righty then! Thank you all for your input. I'm going on Sunday to buy them.
