I ordered these bar stools on Wednesday and received them on Friday.  I had my eyes on these for a while and they were always out of stock, so I was so happy when they came back into stock.  The stools arrived perfectly packed and with no damage to the box. Assembly was a breeze. It's better to have a second person to assemble the stools, due to the fact that there is a little tension when attaching the foot rest, and you have to make sure the screws are aligned properly with the holes . The leather is very firm and they look really nice.  Also quite sturdy. The only thing that I didn't like too much was that the screws were silver.  They should of been black as it would have blended in better. Nothing a quick trip to home depot can't fix if I decided to switch the screws.  Please note that the only assembling on these stools is the seat and the foot rest. I'm very please and would recommend them.
