I wanted to get bar stools for the kitchen counter so I looked at a few stores and then decided to try and save a little money and order them online. I did so through Amazon and received 3 bars stools which I put together. The first 2 went together just fine but the back on the 3rd one wasn't cut right and it wouldn't go together right. So I emailed Amazon about an exchange. They instructed me to go directly through the company that made them so I emailed that company and asked for an exchange. About a month later I received 3 more bar stool boxes. (Ha!) I explained to the delivery man that I only needed one so he kept the other 2 to return back to the store. I put together my third bar stool and noticed right away that it was a little different. The quality was much better--the wood was heavier and nicer and not only was the seat leather but the back rest was also entirely leather unlike the other two. Then I noticed the two bar stools I already had were also slightly different themselves. One had a gold decorative trim and the other didn't. I emailed the company to find out what I needed to do to return the damaged bar stool and asked "How did I end up with 3 different bar stools?" I voiced my disappointment that the first two were not the same kind of quality as the third one was which was what I felt that I had really paid for. The reply I got was that they didn't want to "hassle me" with returning the 3rd damaged bar stool but to keep it. Shortly after that I received an amazon gift card in the mail for the amount of one bar school. (Cool!) Then about a month later there was another barstool box on my front porch. (What??) I opened it and it was the nice quality bar stool but a lighter brown in color. So in the end I ended up with 3 functioning barstool that are all slightly different, a damaged bar stool in my garage, another bar stool in a box that is the wrong color, and an amazon gift card. Not really sure what I think about this whole thing but I think next time I will just get my bar stools from the store.

They've got character! Looks kind-of cool un-matched.
Mismatched is actually in style right now! I was browsing through bedroom photos on Pinterest the other day and noticed a lot of mismatched nightstands..same colors but different styles. Your mismatched stools just looks like you are keeping up with the latest trends :)
