I must have looked through hundreds of counter top stools. My kitchen is a grayish blue and these compliment it perfectly.  They are relatively easy to put together. There were no written instructions, just pictures but they were easy to follow.  The plastic height adjusters at the bottom were easy to use to make sure the chair sat level. The back support feels stiff and almost like you’re sitting straight up at first, but they are still comfortable.   I ordered 2 more for additional seating. Highly recommend!
