I absolutely love these stools! What actually finalized my decision to purchase them and keep them was two things…
 1. The reviews convinced me to buy them and
2. My husband sat on it and his first words were “comfortable & sturdy” , which convinced me to keep them. 
I bought (4) of them and I am in love with them. 
Well made, doesn’t scratch my tiled floors and looks luxurious… it’s a win, win, win and win for me!
