I could not be more proud of these stools. They have the perfect amount of simplicity, comfort and modern design. They were so easy to build on my own. Although still a little pricey for being an open box item, I found nothing regrettable about them. They turn my granite countertop to an extra swanky seating area. Unsure about what size to get, I landed on 28, and it was a perfect fit, so i highly recommend a tape measure to get the best one.
