This is another good online purchase made. I bought 3 of them for use with a newly-installed island. The wood stain and construction very closely matches tables and chairs we currently posses. They have been in use about 1 month. So far, so good. I worry about the cloth coverings long-term because the whole family eats at the island now - but no issues thus far. The stools do need to be assembled and that is a one—hour process for each stool. (A required allen wrench is included in the package.)
