I love these stools, as does everyone else who sees them or sits on them. Comfortable, sturdy,very well made..even the packing they come in, is quality. I can't say enough about Amisco's quality (I have another chair from Amisco also). Also, the style is very simple, but graceful. I love, love love them. I have had these in my kitchen for a year now and the seat covering is great even in the light color, they are very easy to keep clean.
