I loved the way these looked. They look the same once put together. These  seemed perfect for the look I was trying to capture. They arrived quickly, I sat in one as soon as my husband put it together and I was so disappointed.  The bar across the bottom is so uncomfortable on the bottom of my legs, I couldn't sit in it. I got both of my kids and husband to sit in it to see if it was just me...but it was uncomfortable for all of us to sit in. We didn't even put the second chair together. I threw away the box and don't think I can return them, so now I have one stool and all of the parts for the 2nd stool and I am out the $$,  I hate to throw them away, But they are not comfortable enough to sit in.  I would not recommend these unless you plan to put a big cushion on the seat to keep the bar away from your legs.
