These stools are nice. Like some others reviewers noted, the ring is a bit too high to be comfortable for a foot rest but that's not a big deal for us. The reason I only gave 4 stars is that they are very hard to put together. Assembly definitely takes 2 people. Trying to get the fourth screw through the holes in the ring and the leg was extremely frustrating and hard to do.

Pros: arrived quickly, look nice, comfortable
Cons: hard to assemble
