These stools are beautiful!  It was not easy to find the right height for the counter, but at 25" from floor they are perfectly comfortable.  I also like the back support, but they're low profile so it keeps the room from not looking cluttered.  Putting them together was interesting - you need two people.  You will need to turn the swivel which is tight in order to get the screws inserted into the seat bottom. One person will need to hold the swivel base twisted open while the other person inserts the screw.  Once the first one in inserted and tightened it gets easier.  Worth it!  Absolutely love them!
