This 24" stool exceeds its description. Well constructed, attractive and sturdy, it arrived on time and securely packed. It is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. I stenciled the top and applied a couple coats of polyurethane to seal it.   I have received many compliments on the custom design and it is the most sought after seat in the kitchen; used on a daily basis. I liked the email updates regarding delivery.  I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.
