The Devan Counter & Bar Stool are awesome! From the careful packaging to ship them, to me examining the counter/bar stools up and down for imperfections these stools where in great shape. The only assembly that was needed was putting on the backs to the stools and that went fast and easy for me. The first thing that made me love these stools was the coloring. I ordered the blue stools and when they were delivered, I thought they were prettier than I first thought.  Plus, the quality of all the stools is impressive as well. Anyone can tell they are sturdily made, from the paint job to the feet on the stools but that does not take away from the stools they are still awesome to look at. I use them at my kitchen counter, and I have one I use at my height adjustable desk. I swear you can use them anywhere because they look that good.
