When I found these stools I was surprised at the price compared to what I had seen in stores.  However I figured it is worth a try.  I was more then impressed with the look of these when they arrived (in a very timely manner too).  

I did buy 2 and then one did break but it was becasue an adult was standing on one of the rungs.  I liked them enough to buy a replacement.  

The quality and appearance is amazing for the price!!!
