PERFECT! Looked for weeks for 2 chairs/stools to suit our new kitchen. Couldn't find anything that really stood out. Ordered a couple from a different store, they were not as expected, and returned them. Finally found these...the price point is daunting, but it was the last piece in the kitchen and I wanted it to be perfect. The second I assembled them (which was super easy to do, compared to the other chairs I returned) and put them in their space in the kitchen, I knew they were the right ones. And everyone in my family loves them (although I didn't tell them the price!). LOVE these stools.
