I ordered these chairs for a small breakfast bar I have in my new home.  They really are so nice! Just what they look like online. (No, the crystal accents aren't as beautiful as Swarovski, but they achieve the desired effect still).  I ran into a speedbump when assembling - the poles have a rubbery/plastic cap on them.  One of the chairs had a sticker on the pole that said to remove first, the other did not.  I tried to take the cap off but found it to be difficult, so I called Wayfair (to be sure I was doing the right thing) and a rep walked me through.  When you assemble yours: take that cap off(!), that's what triggers the hydraulic lift. Otherwise, it was easy assembly, they're sturdy and look great. Nice shiny chrome, they swivel smoothly and are adjustable.  Very happy with my purchase :)
