These stools are beautiful!  They are extremely comfortable and look very classy.  I ordered 4 for my kitchen island.  The first stool took us 45 minutes to figure out the assembly, but by the 4th chair, we were able to do it in 15 minutes.  They are very sturdy and the seats are great.  Others have commented that they are uneven.  I just added an extra felt square to the bottom of one of the lets and it solved the problem.  My only complaint is that they came in sets of 2.  I only wanted 3, so now I have an extra stool that I don't have room for.
