After searching locally without much luck, I bought four of these stools to update my outdated ones surrounding my kitchen counter. I Was a little nervous buying something sight unseen, but took the chance. I was very happy when I opened the first box! Packaged very well, nice looking and easy instructions to assemble with everything you need. The wood seat is pleasing to the eye and comfortable. I would highly recommend these! The price is great for the nice quality of the stools!
