I am very pleased with my purchase of  two Cioffi counter stools.  My house has a an open floor plan and I wanted two stools with a simple design that would easily tuck under a counter top. The base material is a sturdy metal frame topped off with an attractive cushion. They look good, fit nicely under the counter, and don't clash with the decor . As a bonus, they are simple to assemble.  Just what I wanted!
