These look stunning. I think for the amount I payed they were a fantastic find. I actually ordered two more stools that were double the price that look like leather, thinking I'd probably be sending these back, however these arrived first and I love them. The cushion is harder than it looks to sit on, but that's actually a plus because I think that will help them keep their shape and if ever used in a bedroom, that's where people set suitcases on etc. so I think that's a bonus. Very happy!
