I love these stools. They seem very well-made with high quality parts, are sturdy and look great! The only disappointment so far is that the stain on the wooden parts of the stool are MUCH darker than they appear in the photo on the website.  It really is too bad that companies don't adjust the lighting when photographing items until the colors of the item appear as they really are!  If you don't mind a darker wood stain, then I would highly recommend them. If you're looking for more of a farmhouse, barn-weathered look, then go elsewhere.
