LOVE these!  The stools are really easy to put togther.  It took about 5 minutes.  They arrive in perfect shape and are comfortable for snacking at my counter or allowing someone to sit there while we cook.  They don't take up a lot of room, which is nice for my smaller apartment. I can tuck them under my counter and adjust height as needed.  The low back is comfortable but doesn't take up space like a full back would.
