We finally made the decision to buy these stools after comparing the reviews of similar ones. We are so glad that we chose these! They are comfortable, sturdy, and beautiful! Love the gray color and feel of the fabric. The wood color is great too and goes well with our darker floors. One stool leg came a little scratched up but we would be the only ones to notice that. The Velcro that hides the “nuts and bolts” of the chair is a nice touch. One of our chairs came missing the other half of the strip of Velcro but it will be an easy fix. Fairly easy to put together (my husband used power tool rather than wrench that comes with it). Even with a couple of imperfections we still give these 5 stars. Quality stools at a great price!
