Was originally looking at much more expensive stools and couldn't find exactly what I wanted so decided to try these stools out as a temporary solution since they were on sale. The color of these bar stools matched my kitchen island perfectly! They came assembled and ready to go. Very pleased with the quality and plan to use these permanently in my kitchen now that I have them. So glad I didn't pay more for bar stools. These are great and especially for the price! My kids love the swivel feature too.
