These stools were great for the price and work well for our kitchen. I like that the backs of them aren’t visible over the top of the counter. My biggest complaint is that in assembling them, you have to be VERY careful not to scratch the finish because the backs of the stools fit very snug when installing. Our first stool we put together has some gouges on the sides from where we were trying to fit the pieces together. Wasn’t a problem for the others once we knew.
