These bar stools are absolutely gorgeous! I would have given a 5 rating but I ordered 7 chairs and the ring position in the back was in a different position, 4 had a 5" drop from the top of the chair and 3 had a 3" drop. I ended up keeping all 7 chairs, grouping them and putting the lower drop in the center of the bar. They were well packaged, already assembled. The espresso finish is superb. Love the steel bar at the footrest. They could have been a bit heavier (for sturdiness), but for the price I feel I got my money's worth.
