The Caldwell 24" bar stools came 2 days early!! I was so happy that I assembled them both in 45min!! Afterwards, I sat down to work on paperwork at my counter. The stool didn't squeak or feel flimsy, & the cushion has the right amount of firmness to it.  Later my 225lb son came over & sat on the other stool. He immediately thought I bought them already assembled. Not a squeak or show of poor craftsmanship out of either. When I told him the price, he immediately went online to find a set!! Thanks ever so much!!
