Loving my new stools! Impressed that these arrived on time and so perfectly packaged; it took longer to unwrap than to put them together :) Not cheap looking at all! And the linen type fabric looks very sophisticated and of good quality! Plus the seats are comfortable. The only thing that kept me from giving these 5 stars is the color. It is marketed as gray, when the wood finish is more a beige/oatmeal tone. Still a great choice (5 stars) if you are looking for neutral & sophisticated!
