The stools shipped and arrived quickly.  Assembly was effortless for me.  We had hesitated to conclude a stool design as we wanted a clean, contemporary design with enough comfort to support our backs as this is a spot where we spend a lot of time together. This is the hub of our home

Comfort: The seats are very comfortable. The swivel is smooth and regardless of if we lift or have them low, the foot rest is ideal.  My husband has the back rest he wanted.  We can sit here for quite a while with comfort.
Aesthetics:  We purchased the white and really like the way it fits into our space.  While they make their own statement, they also complement the other pieces of our clean lined, contemporary condo. We are very pleased with them.

Function & quality:  We were a little concerned when we saw the price, to think that perhaps the quality was less than par.  BUT these stools are solid.  The swivel is smooth and the foot rest feels secure.
