These stools are comfortable, which is a plus for any bar stool.  They were easy to assemble, and they are very attractive.  They were a bit expensive, but overall seem worth it, as they are definitely a cut above the average.  I was hoping to get the lighter color, but it was sold out.  The charcoal is handsome (and won't soil as easily), but it looks a bit more massive than I'd hoped for.  Otherwise they'd get five stars for sure.
