Stools are heavy and very nicely made.  Oak stain is beautiful.  Measurements are misleading.  Height of seat (the actual wood) is only 24".  Cushion makes up another 1.8", so it is described with a seat that's 25.8" tall, but we all know your bottom sinks to the wood, so if you want a bar/island stool with a seat taller than 24", this is not the one for you.
