We were leary to order these as we have had items arrive damaged in the past.  Wayfair was very good about replacing these damaged items but we were still leary.  After looking for weeks we found these stools and, based on the reviews, we order x4 of them.  They are BEAUTIFUL!  VERY comfortable!   They really hug your back. Friends and our uncle are looking to order them after seeing, and sitting in ours. I would definitely recommend these!  They were packaged very well and had nothing wrong. Easy to assemble.  They look perfect in our kitchen.
