these stools are pretty to look at but I had to return them because the two shorter bars that go across the legs kept coming out and we had to pop them back into place. It has to be a design flaw because it happend to both of the stools. Also, I was disappointed to learn when I receievd them that the materials used in the seat cushions had a warning on them than they are known to contain cancer causing agents. No thanks! I was going to keep them despite this but then the bars kept popping out so that did them in. I do have to say that I was pleased with customer service, who promptly offered a full refund and even said I didn't have to bother sending them back. So, I will make purchase new ones from All Modern.
