These stools were exactly what I was looking for.  The height seemed a little low at first but after they were put together they were exactly the right height of our counter height island.  Definitely too low for a bar top height but perfect for counter top height.  I am a pretty big guy and they seem to support my weight fine.  They are sturdy and comfortable and the colors were just as they seemed in the picture.  Putting them together wasnt the easiest so be forewarned if you have never put furniture together before.  Luckily I had a socket set that helped the process along, the tools provided may make the process a little tougher.
