Very happy with this purchase- these are sturdy stools that aren't too bulky and look way more expensive than they were. My husband assembled 4 stools in less than 2 hours, and said they've been they easiest thing he's had to assemble for our new house. The only negative I see is that dirty shoes easily leave marks on the white surface, but they wipe up easily. The white distressed finish is just what I was looking for, it's a nice change from all the dark stools you see everywhere.
