I ordered 4 of these bar stools in the white color. I ordered them on Thursday evening and they arrived on Saturday. And that is free shipping! They were easy to assemble, just 3 screws to put the seat on the frame. The only downside was how long it took to take all of the wrapping off each stool ( paper and plastic wrapped around every inch of the frame). However, this is not a big deal if that protected them from scratching. The seat is padded nicely and comfortable to sit on. The low back doesn't really provide much support, but I wasn't looking for that anyway.  It looks like it will be useful to grab when pulling out stool.  I wanted a contemporary counter stool that had an open look to it and these look great. I will see how they hold up and wear over time. But on day one I am quite pleased.
