The neutral colors of this stool made it the perfect choice for the bar that separates my kitchen from my family room. They are comfortable and sturdy. It takes a bit of time to put them together, but it is not complicated. Once I put the first one together, I barely had to glance at the directions to do the next two. I initially ordered the 26-inch stool and found they were too short for my counter and Wayfair was very accommodating in helping me exchange them.
