I ordered these chairs because I needed to add to what I already had at my counter. They came jest a few days after I ordered. I was able to put them together without my husband's help - very easy, just 12 screws and bam! They were up and being used. I love the partial back, just enough of a back to keep you comfortable. There are spaces for your hands on either side of the seat, so you can pick up and move around with ease. I love these stools. Will probably get 2 more to replace what i already had. Thank you!
