It was love at first sight, and I had JUST opened up the box. What I saw, I’ve never seen before, EVER! These bar stools were individually wrapped in a thick, beautiful wrapping I’ve never seen before but the wrapping was STITCHED. I had to unstitch each wrap to get to the chairs and I was gagged. I had a great time unwrapping each chair as well as enjoyed assembling them. Also super easy to assemble.
