“The stools are beautiful! They are well constructed and offered the height sizes we needed. VERY HAPPY WITH OUR SERVICE AND PURCHASES!” Jerry, Missouri

“I first ordered one barstool that we had customized in height. I wanted to see if we liked this item and it fit well before ordering the other 7 we needed. I had our stool within 10 days of ordering. It is a beautiful well built stool! Very comfortable. We ordered the Jackie swivel XL which gave us a larger seat and makes a world if difference for comfort! We chose the black finish with a black vinyl seat! The vinyl is beautiful! It’s not your typical shiny vinyl, it has a mat finish. Looks like leather and feels nice! I will send a picture when we have all 8 stools at our kitchen bar counter.” Thank you! Lois, Tennessee

“These stools are so sturdy and the stainless finish is well worth the price difference. Customer service was amazing. Deborah and Joe were very responsive to all of our questions or concerns. Great experience in all!” James, North Carolina

“We had 5 of these stools and liked them so well that we searched online to order 3 more. They are very comfortable to sit in – the back is padded and just the right height to support one’s back. The armrests are comfortable and a good height. The foot bar is wide enough to support your feet well. The 360 degree swivel is a must have!
