I had been stalking these counter stools for over a year and once they went on sale, I decided it was time. They look absolutely beautiful around our island and match our living room furniture perfectly! They are extremely sturdy, firm, yet comfortable, chic and fabulous. The brushed gold is beautiful. There were a few threads I had to trim around the velvet stitches, one stitch I had to tuck in slightly, and the right front leg of one of the stools has a strange, scratch mark on the corner. If it were not for those three elements, I would’ve given them a full five stars! ￼ they are snug around the booty, so a tad small for my husband. Height on the website says 34 12 inches tall, they are very snug under the edge of the island. The legs are gorgeous, but easy to trip over. Either way, they are so elegant and here to stay.
