I have been searching for the perfect barstools for our living room bar for awhile.  I NEVER thought of purchasing them online because I wanted to try them out in person before purchasing.  After seeing these ones on-line and reading other reviews I decided to go for it.  They arrived in perfect condition.  I was glad that I read the other reviews carefully so I knew they were tricky to put together.  I only cried once but I did swear a lot -- it was worth the effort.  They are so perfect and exactly what I was looking for - I highly recommend these stools.

Pros: Great price, delivered in excellent condition, great look, very comfortable
Cons: the crying and swearing during assembly
