Gorgeous stools. Not only are they sturdy and well made, they are quite comfortable and beautiful. Unlike some reviewers, it took some time for me to put the stools together about 15 to 20 minutes a piece. I made a few tiny errors in the process, but it all worked out eventually.  Warning, you need a drill to attach the legs to the seat as there are no pre-drilled holes.  We purchased the cream color ones and they are just as described. Love the tacks around the seat. Did I mention, the stools are made from real wood? Bottom line, Get these stools, they are well worth the money.
