the finished stools are very nice. The brushwork on the metal frames provides a soft texture to the stool. Be aware that assembly is required. It took about 15 minutes per stool to remove all of the protective wrap before bolting on the padded seat. They put in a good effort to protect the finish in shipping but it will require more of your time when you take it out of the box.

Pros: nice metal work and good seat height
Cons: labor to unwrap the 2 layers of plastic and cotton wrapping.
