Items are excellent and exactly as advertised.  We have enjoyed using them and they have held up well over the last two months.  Only issue I have it the lack of pads under the feet.  Would have been nice to also have optional pads to protect the floor from damage, but this is only a suggestion I have for improvement.  I realize some may use these on carpet and would have no need for them.  That should NOT be a make-or-break issue.  The items did not scratch up the floors prior to us putting our own pads on there and I highly recommend them to those looking for stools.
