These are really cute, comfy barstools! They have a good amount of padding and the back provides some lumbar support. They also look very well made. You can tell they are faux leather but it doesn’t look super thin like faux leather can sometimes be. I only put one together so far, they take some time adjusting so that the legs don’t wobble at all. Overall thrilled with this selection and I’m happy all 4 of them will fit at my kitchen island.
