The bar stools arrived very well packed to provide protection. They 24" height are a perfect compliment to my large, round dining table.  The assembly instructions were very easy and I had all 4 assembled in under an hour. The wood is smooth, the height perfect for a counter top dining room table. I've alternated the bar stools with the dining room chairs to give guests elbow room around the table. I can now easily seat 10 people with the addition of these very well made bar stools.  I recommend these if you want to expand seating for holidays, your guests will love them. Tell them you got them @ Wayfair when they ask!!!
