I am always nervous about ordering things online for fear I will be disappointed when I actually see the product. These stools, however, were  a wonderful surprise. They are sturdy, comfortable, and look just beautiful in my new all-white kitchen. Although they are vinyl , they very much look like leather and appear to be very high-quality. I took a leap of faith and ordered four stools, knowing how difficult it would be to return them, but I am so very happy with them.
