These are really lovely counter stools.  I was a bit concerned about the faux leather but the feel is really nice and soft. They have a good seat cushion.  The swivel works perfectly if you like that thing.  They were easy to put together, holes lined up and took about 15 minutes each.  Really just attaching the legs.  Packaged well and arrived with no damage.  Feel sturdy and solid when sitting on them.  Love the shade of blue - like a steelSmokey blue.  The only slight negative would be the back cushioning - it is fine right now but not sure how it will wear over time.  Would definitely not let that sway a purchase decision though.  Great choice for us.
