I love this table !!  Stupid me, I thought I was getting the chairs too but now I am so glad I didn't.  I'm downsizing and I just happened to have the 18" unfinished bar stools and I am going to have them painted in black to match the table and how easy will that be for a small apartment.  I've tried the stools out with the table and they are the perfect seating size and truly it's not an uncomfortable seating situation at all. Yay for me on this one.
