These are sturdy stools that have a nice modern and sleek design. They were fairly easy to assemble and the swivel is a nice bonus. The only reason for 4 stars is the wooden back on the stool hits right in the middle of your back and isn’t as comfortable as I was hoping. Also, as other reviewers have noted, if the stool hits your granite countertops it will knick the wood. We’ll need to buy a touch up pen because it’s bound to happen on the others. Overall I feel it was a good price for the quality of bar stool we received.
