I landed on wayfair's website after using a search engine to locate a stool I had come across on houzz.  The stool was beautiful and $799 each.  The site listed this stool as a "others who view this also look at..." item.  I decided for this price I should give them a try before committing to the more expensive option.  So glad I did!  

The quality is fantastic.  The upholstery is better than expected.  They (I purchased 4) are sturdy and comfortable.  I love the swivel and the height of the backs.  The only complaint is that they don't come preassembled.  My husband is handy, but they were still time consuming to put together.
