These stools are beautiful, sturdy, practical and were very easy to assemble.  They match my décor perfectly.  There were less expensive stools, but these are such great quality I can't imagine those actually being a better buy.  After all, a good deal is about more than just the bottom line price.  There were also several that were much higher in price and I'm sure they have features that justify the price such as leather seats for instance.

But for your average family on your average budget, these were way above average quality.  I think they are perfect in style, quality and price for what you actually get for your money. 

Pros: price, quality, ease of assembly, style
Cons: none
