Shipped quickly - even though listed as back-ordered - they arrived sooner than expected.  Well-packed.  Nothing to put together - they were ready to go out of the box.  Sturdy, comfortable, with the flexibility to easily twist the height up and down.  Metal trim looks nicely aged.  "Leather" tops look good - not cheap.  Great item for a home kitchen or bar.  Great value for the price!  So far, so good.....
