These are really beautiful stools. They looks amazing in our kitchen and are the perfect height for the island. The only thing I am already noticing, is the the wood must be a softer wood. If it swivels and hit the countertop even lightly, you can see a mark in the wood. We anticipate that within a month or two, and having young boys at home, the white paint will eventually wear away from hitting the counter. They are very comfortable and easy to assemble.
