After exhausting local shopping options to quickly obtain decent quality bar stools at a reasonable price, I turned to Amazon.com and selected these 4 24" Saddle Back black bar stools. Even without Prime, they arrived in several days, much to our delight! Not that hard to assemble, they turned out much nicer than anticipated. Seats are supple and quite comfortable. The design results in sturdy construction once assembled. For the most part (3 stools) the quality of the wood was solid. One stool did have a section of one of the legs that was not as solid as the rest and ultimately the fastening screws pulled loose. This was easily corrected with larger screws and furniture glue. To insure even stronger initial assembling, I recommend using glue along with the screws on all of the rungs when the stools are assembled. The final product looks and feels much more expensive than the money paid.
