These stools are fantastic.  They have such a modern luxurious look, a unique and curvy shape, and they add great style to my very simple kitchen island.  They are also very comfortable and i love the features they have including the footrest and the height adjustable lever, which works easily.  They were packaged perfectly and arrived in pristine condition and the assembly was so simple and easy, it took me only a few mins for both.  The gray color i chose is beautiful and exactly as it was pictured and the chrome is so shiny and has good weight to it. You can tell these are great quality and i love that they came in a pair.  These stools are winners, you will not be disappointed and they will probably exceed your expectations like they did mine.
