These stools are beautiful, sturdy, and well made.  They were very easy to assemble with the included tool and gave instructions on how to level the legs.  The seat is larger than I thought and the swivel mechanism is smooth.  I like that the foot rests are metal to prevent wear and tear from showing.  I did scotchgard the seats to prevent stains on the fabric.    Overall, a great item and look wonderful at my kitchen island.
