Thank you Denise! These are stools are packaged two per box for better protection for shipping. Once packaged in singles, we notice higher damage in transit rates. That is why they are sold in sets of twos.

Denise, I found two of these stools in town but would love a third. If you Are still on a stool hunt, and want these, let me know. If bu coincidence we lived reasonably close to each other, you or I could purchase another two, and split The cost and them.
