We had kitchen stools, purchased over ten years ago, that had worn out - seat cushion going, knicks and scratches, etc. After looking locally, and not pleased with the quality/price that was offered, I went to the internet and searched - and found - the same stool, made by Trica, available at a fair price. Ordered them, they came as promised, well packed, were easy to assemble,and had good instructions. Very happy with the whole experience.
