Great stools. Boxes were destroyed but surprisingly the parts didn’t reflect any damage from transit. There were color flaws as shown in photo. It’s noticeable to me, but not most, and a hassle to exchangereturn, so I will keep. MOST annoying thing is that these are sold in sets of two, so I ordered 2 (thinking I would get 4). I got 2. Called in to see where thee other 2 were and they said I only ordered 2. Doh! So I wanted 2 more and had to stay on the phone for over an out for the approval to send 2more at the rate I originally purchased. I told them their ordering system is flawed  I shouldn’t be penalized. All in all I do like the look of the counter stools, as I wanted sight over my island. And they are sturdy and surprisingly comfortable for a flat seat.
