I was lied to, that is what I think. I was told the depth of the seats were 18" and they are not.  They may be 18" from the outside of the back to the front edge of the seat but the part you actually sit on is 14" and that is what I was trying to avoid.  The front edge of the seat hits the middle of my thigh and 5 minutes is the longest I can sit on them.  My daughter bought them from me for half price because my grandkids can sit on them.  They are not made for adults.  You need to be more honest in your descriptions of furniture.  It was definitely a money-losing purchase for me.  It is quite a process to return something that large so selling to my daughter seemed the easiest thing to do since the grandkids ages 9 & 12 wanted them.  That is the ages those stools are made for, not adults.  I should have been told that.
