After looking for counter top height bar stools at local furniture stores we shopped Wayfair and found these. They looked nearly identical to those in the local store but at half the price. When the stools arrived they proved to be high quality solid wood and once assembled they felt very sturdy and substantial. They were very true to the pictures online. 
The only snag is that these stools require assembly and some pieces needed "persuading" in order to fit properly.  The instructions were clear and easy to follow and they came with all necessary hardware and the wrench required for assembly.
Overall, I would give this stool an "A" for looks, quality and value for the money.
