These are gorgeous and so quick and easy to put together ... only a couple minutes for each stool! I purchased the gold and white and they look amazing in our new condo! My husband is a very tall and heavy set man (about 270 lbs) and at first when he first saw the stools, he thought they wouldn’t hold him comfortably but they sure do!  Seat cushions are padded well and are so comfortable.  We even have started eating our dinners at the counter and not the table!!
