These stools have the exact look I want for my modern kitchen but the quality is questionable. I figured as much because of the price but I decided to take a chance because they are well reviewed. They look better in the photographs but will do for now until they are damaged or ruined and I decide to buy a proper set of counter stools. Bottom line, if you just want to get the modern look of these stools they will be fine but if you're looking for craftsmanship then I would not buy these.
