These counter stools are a complete fail in my opinion. The directions were impossible to follow. We assembled them two different times before we got it correct. I ordered the taupe color and they look more grey. One of the legs was busted at the top. The seat part isn’t long enough. It hits you in a part of your leg that is very uncomfortable and cuts your circulation off after just sitting for a few minutes. The back as at an unnatural slant so if you sit back, where the seat is so short you feel like you are going to slide out of the chair. On the plus side, very pretty to look at.
