I love these stools, nice and sturdy. I bought in the white and when they arrived one had some black scuff marks on it and we decided that maybe the black would hold up better with young kids. Wayfair was fantastic with the return and we reordered in black. They were backordered for almost a month but were worth the wait. I wish the black stools were available in the light wood seat but overall, very happy with these stools!
