I had a really hard time finding bar stools for my space, and I kept going back to these. After receiving these, earlier than expected, I am thrilled to say they work nearly perfect in my space. The gold is a bit more yellow shiny gold than I wanted, but it’s nothing I can’t live with. Or that spray paint can’t take care of. They are fairly comfortable too, which is surprising since they are acrylic, and having a little bit of a back makes you easier to sit for extended periods of time too. Overall, I’m very happy and can’t wait to get some more ordered to have a full set for my island.
