I searched high and low for a statement counter stool that is still classic enough to stand the test of time. These really fit the bill without costing a fortune. They are well crafted, sturdy, and comfortable. Easy to assemble as well. Love the creamier (vs. white) upholstery, works perfectly with my kitchen. The full swivel is a great function for conversation and for multitasking. Highly recommend. 

Ps. As others have said, there is a gas-like smell when you first open them, but I think this mostly came from the packaging. Mine was not so noticeable after being out a few hours.
