We just built a new home, and I could not be more pleased with these bar stools that I purchased to use at our kitchen island.  It was important to us that the stools be well made and extremely sturdy because they will be used mostly by our grandkids.  I spent many weeks searching everywhere, both at local stores and other internet sites.  My researching certainly paid off.  They are very attractive and a great addition to our Craftsman style home.  Of course, the grandkids are very happy that we chose to buy stools that swivel :)
