I wasn't able to open the boxes for about 6 months after purchase.  I was worried as I knew I would be outside of any time frame for return if they did not work out. In fact, they are awesome!  So relieved.  I love that they are not too heavy and easy to pull out from the table to sit.  They replaced counter stools that weighed a ton!  The grey seat fabric is beautiful and the stools are so comfortable.  I love the darker wood stain that brings warmth in my white kitchen!
