These are great stools, but I have to admit I am not as pleased with the color than what the lighting showed in the photos. BUT, they are very comfy and they were fairly simple to put together especially since I had another person around to help me with steps three and four.  I don’t think I could have put them together on my own as the other person’s hands helped steady the foot restsquare piece.  This is day 1, but I don’t foresee myself returning them…great counter stools for the price and the comfort is five stars.
