I was looking for a Canadian made counter stool and ordered two of these stools. These stools are very comfortable, sturdy, and very modern looking just like in the photo. They fit in perfectly with our newly renovated kitchen. I am new to on-line shopping and was a bit shocked that one of the boxes arrived so badly damaged. The stool in this box had a damaged bolt that was bent. My husband sawed it off and we were able to assemble the stool with no other issues. I have just ordered four side chairs for our table and hope they are as comfortable.
