These stools were just what i was looking for to replace the chairs around my kitchen table. i gave them only 4 stars because they are a little lighter then i would like them to be. our grandchildren tend to tip them over while trying to climb on to the seat. i own similar stools that i purchased at the same price point that are much heavier and aren't tip over when the little ones climb up to sit down at the table.i wish they had been available in black but a few cans of black spray paint and a little sanding they look just as i had hopped they would be. :)
