These stools replaced a set of 4 legged bar stools, which looked great but were uncomfortable and had tipped over several times. These stools were relatively simple to put together, and were up and being used within minutes. of being unpacked. We love the modern look, the ability to adjust the height, the stability this pedestal design affords, and most of all, the comfort. The back support and foot rest make these very comfortable to stools. The seat material and stitching is high quality, and the height adjustment mechanism works well and is easy to use.
