Our island where the stools are competes with the area where the dining table is so I needed to find stools that would match my dark cabinets and also not be in the way. These are just the right fit for my needs. They were super easy to put together and are very comfortable. Its become one of my favorite places to sit and have a cup of coffee and read now! 

Pros: Receieved them quickly and easy assembly
Cons: none
