WOW, these stools are really gorgeous.  It's funny, I've only had them a few days, and anyone that was here, loved them.  I texted pics to friends/family because I am renovating, even the people I would not expect to have liked them because they are very contemporary, were so impressed and really liked them!!!  If you keep coming back to these and are still in question, BUY THEM.  You won't regret it.  Easy assembly, packaged superbly, no problems.
