Love these stools, they are just the right height for sitting at the counter. My daughter loves sitting at the counter watching me fix a meal & helping. The stools are easy to put together if you have a power drill. People complained about the little tool that came with the stools & marked down the star rating. Don't think that was fair since all furniture that you have to put together give hinky tools & most people know that. Use a proper power tool and the job gets done quickly. I would recommend these cute & comfortable stools to anyone looking for a stool that can go under their counter top.
