the stools are just perfect in the space,  and I am truly a lover of "red." 
directions,  not so great,  not so clear,  and we are still wondering where some of the screws that were part of the packet are supposed to go.  thank goodness we are relatively handy, and were able to figure it out.  trust that the second stool went together much more quickly than the first!  we do like them,  and through it all would probably order them again.
