I absolutely love this chair-height stools. I was looking for additional seating for my breakfast nook, and these are perfect. There are light-weight but sturdy and unfinished, which makes it easy to match them to anything. I can simply stain and wax or paint them easily. They are small so be sure to read the height. I didn't buy counter-height ones on purpose. They would also make awesome kids seating. The stools came in separate large boxes. They're so lightweight I thought they were empty. Normally that'd be bad, but these are completely solid and sturdy (just not made of a heavy wood).
