Nice, sturdy,  and surprisingly comfortable stools that don't take up any visual space.  I would have given 5 stars, but took one off because one of the stools had compression marks in two places due to packing method.  The stools were nested with a piece of styrofoam between them; the foam had compressed during shipping allowing the weight of the top stool to press into the nested one.  Damage only slightly visible; hopefully this will not cause the top veneer to separate from the base material over time.  The damage didn't seem like it merited sending one stool back, so fingers crossed.
