Overall these are very nice stools.  Unfortunately one of the four I ordered was manufactured incorrectly and I had to wait for a replacement.  Also, the screws provided to secure the strikers were too short so I had to find and use longer screws to secure them properly.  The seating surface is very comfortable to seat on for long periods of time although the stool back is at a reclined angle so you may need to lean forward when sitting at the counter.
