Purchased these barstools for our new home using the Wayfair app option "View in Room".  They look amazing and are very sturdy and comfortable.  The only reason I didn't rate them 5 stars was due to the issues with the tape that comes along the base of the pedestal, as was mentioned in previous reviews.  It is extremely sticky, leaves residue after removal, and does in fact tear off some of the finish from the metal trim that protects the wood of the foot plate.  This did affect 2 out of the 4 barstools we ordered.  I plan on using some Goo-Gone to remove the residue. Other than that, my husband put all 4 of them together fairly quickly and we are overall pleased with this purchase.  Would recommend if you're looking for a very nice looking barstool.
