These are amazing!  I debated for over a half year whether or not to purchase these counter stools.  I am so glad I did!  As I put them together - not too difficult - my father came over and sat in the one I had completed.  He was very impressed.  When I told them how much I paid for them, his words were:  "Wow!  You robbed them!  These are fantastic!"  You won't be disappointed.  Very happy!
