We absolutely love these bar stools!!! Came with a lot of packing which is a good thing but didn't take long to put together.  Was a bit worried it would be too high but our  island is at 36 inches high, these stools are at 26 inches and it's perfect for us!! Matches our dark wood/almost black furniture very well. Will definetly order two more!! Very sturdy and solid!!! Definetly recommend!
