These stools are fabulous! The color (I bought the blue) is even better in person! Very good quality stools. They are so sturdy, and I found them very easy to put together. The only recommendation is that when assembling the stools, LOOSELY tighten the bolts, and after you have the seat in place (last step), then tighten everything up. The stools do have a slight indentation where your rear end would fit into the seat, and it is comfortable, but I chose to add a seat cushion for extra comfort and to prevent the seat from getting scratched.
