We just remodeled our kitchen with new hardwood floors, white/navy blue cabinets and polished chrome/stainless steel appliances and accessories. We went to a specialty store for stools and couldn't find anything we liked for under $1,000.00 each stool. These stools fit with everything we have done. They totally fit my image of how I wanted our new kitchen to look. They are pretty easy to assemble once you figure it out. They are very comfortable.
