It was a best purchase I made! I was little afraid to get this stool. Because it's so unique and cute looking, but sometime picture could lie and uniqueness could be louder than you would wish. But for our small bar counter, this size seemed to be perfect. So I purchased it. And I'm glad I did. I looove them how they look, and how they fit our place! It was nicely packaged, and soooo easy to put together.
