Stools are of good quality and offer comfortable seating. Ordered 8 stools and like them very much. Not sure if a few were damaged in shipping or left the factory that way, that was the only thing that made me unhappy. Slight cut in the vinyl seat and a broken screw flange. They were wrapped well with foam, so hard to determine how the damage occurred. Like them anyway. Cushioned seat is firm…a bit softer would have increased the rating. Still beautiful stools at a reasonable price.
