That would be a good buy. Note they are 2 1/2" (not 4") bolsters.

If they are exact reproduction they retail at around $400 so it 's a good deal at that price.

I just liked how he knew nothing about 2" or 4" yet knew enough to measure.

It occurred to me that some readers may not know what the bolster is. This is a 4" version. Some seats were 2 1/2".
