This pair of Saddle Stools added just what we needed for our counter area. The design is attractively simple, and construction is sturdy. The wood has a nice grain and good finish. The Wayfair site enabled me to choose stools by height, and these fit perfectly. The price was great for the value. Our family uses these stools daily.Assembly instructions were easy to follow. To speed things up, I used a power tool instead of the small tool enclosed with the hardware. Our stools are not on carpet, and so we affixed felt pads underneath the legs to protect our floor.
