These barstools turned out to be exactly what I wanted! The quality of the stools is excellent & they arrived in perfect condition. I purchased 4 in the black finish for my kitchen island and they look fabulous! The design of the stools is simple & sturdy, but still stylish. My teenage son assembled the first one and it gave him some trouble...the legs ended up being backwards...husband took over and all 4 were assembled in about 30 mins. Very happy with my purchase!
