- Bar stools are lovely and high quality. Easy to assemble. The upholstery has a high sheen which compliments the stainless steel appliances in my kitchen. However, the color is darker than I expected; more Brown than tan. But they look great just the same.
- I love these barstools. They were much nicer than expected for such a good price. I had the Handy folks build them for me and the Handy man was also thoroughly impressed with their quality. Four of them fit perfectly. Highly recommend!!

- I was buying those chairs as an addition to the set from another manufacturer which I already own. They’re almost an identical match. They were super easy to assemble and light enough for me to carry. The color is a deep, cherry-walnut red which I love.
- These barstools look great, and the color was spot on. The only downside is they are tad flimsy but not terrible. I’m on the smaller side so they are fine for me however larger adults movement or weight may prove otherwise
- Very sturdy stools and nice rustic gray color that compliments my decor! My only complaint is that one of the seats was cracked so I notified Wayfair and they sent me a replacement. Thus the reason for the 4 stars.
