We bought one of these stools first to make sure it matched and was comfortable, and we couldn't have been more pleased.  We proceeded to buy 4 more for our oversized kitchen island.  The stools' wood and gray fabric match our hardwood floors and island granite splendidly, and they are the perfect height, too.  They had their first test when we had several family members and friends stay with us recently, and they held up well.  These stools are sturdy.  We find ourselves eating dinner more at the island than at the dining table!  Assembly takes about 20-30 minutes per stool, using a powered screwdriver, but after one, the rest are pretty easy.  Just be sure to pay attention to the screw and washer sizes.  I highly recommend these stools based on their quality and value.
