The Norman counterstools are beautiful and surprisingly comfortable! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a unique piece to complete their kitchen. My only gripe is with the shipping. Shipping costs are $129 and on two occasions now, I have received damaged chairs. Rove Concepts has always been willing to replace them, but the chairs are on backorder and I have been waiting forever to get them. Other than shipping and lag time, the chairs are a must buy.
