These are great stools.  They were nicely packed and the esembly was easy.   I bought two of them and the only thing that may be an issue for some is that the solid wood tops are not identical. The shape is the same, but they may be hand-carved/tooled, so one is a tiny tiny smaller than the other.  If you are looking for cookie cutter stools these may not be for you.  Otherwise, the stools are absolutely beautiful and surprisingly comfortable.
