Nice stools, fairly typical for stools at this price. They look great and are very comfortable. They have the same hydraulic mechanism that you find on all of the lower priced stools. My only complaint is that 2 of them arrived with imperfect top stitching that I’m afraid will unravel, but it seems like Wayfair is replace it them with no problem or trouble so kudos on the customer service......I also bought the extended warranty because I anticipate the the probability that the small welds may break at some point.
