I love these chairs! The directions were easy to follow and they match my kitchen cabinets perfectly! They are also lighter than expected, which is great for a breakfast bar counter. The size fit my counter perfectly! My recommendation is to make sure you measure older stools, before making the purchase. I love the faux suede material, my only concern is when visitor's children come over and spillage. I wish the backing area was easy to remove, just in case i have to recover.
