These stools are solid, pretty, and comfortable.   The vegan leather is nicely stitched and looks Iike leather, but realistically it doesn't feel like leather.  The metal frame coating is surprisingly free of scratches 2 months later, something I was worried about. I do wish they were a tiny bit taller, but I knew the dimensions before ordering.  My only real issue is that they're really light. They're solid to sit on, but they weigh almost nothing.  Everytime my cat jumps up on them they literally slide 2"!  I know these aren't at all pricey, but if they were just a little more substantial they'd be a much better value and would feel more lux!
