I am amazed. Bar stools are horribly expensive. I refuse to pay 499. for each. After looking for months my friend told me about Overstock. It took me 10 minutes (and yes, I really did depend on the reviews) to find exactly what I was looking for. These stools are heavy, sturdy, well made....and beautiful! They came already assembled, each carefully wrapped. Even the UPS man was amazed. You can't beat the shipping price either. I now look at Overstock before I go anywhere else on line.
