It's difficult to find modern barstools that are actually comfortable, but these fit the bill!  Don't be concerned if the finish looks like it has some marks on it out of the box, it does rub off and restores to the beautiful gold finish.  Very easy to assemble, and if you ever need to refinish the upholstery, it does unscrew from the frame making it easy to do. Had them eight months now and they still look fabulous!
