These stools are beautiful! They are well constructed and sturdy. The faux leather is heavy and well stitched. It was a welcome change to find that the legs were expertly cut and all the nuts, screws etc were exactly as needed, making the assembly quick and easy. In addition, the packaging was done with great care to ensure a damage-free shipping experience. The only thing to note is that the light gray stools which I ordered, are not gray at all. They are much more beige. Regardless, I am happy with this purchase.
