Love the chair! A little firm at firm at first but as you sit. it is perfect (height and firmness, kind of memory foamish). We needed a little higher chair for our wooden counter to the island. The only negative I have is that the legs were too much of a whitish gray (used some scratch cover stain which helped). The screws for the kick bars on the stool(s) are not long enough - needed to substitute screws with my husband’s fine collection from his workbench -)
