These stools are one of my favorite online purchases!  They arrived promptly, were packaged carefully and securely yet were simple and easy to unpack, they are gorgeous, sturdy, beautifully constructed and overall, are of the highest quality.  They came fully assembled, and as some reviewers have already noted, the gold legs are a darker rather than brighter shade of gold, which I find attractive.  Best of all, they are super comfortable!  Love them!
