These are great. I purchased 5 of them, and they have worked out great so far. I love that I can slide them under the island (up to the back), allowing for more room when they are not in use. I also like that the back isn't super high, because I don't want my stools to be the center of attention at my lovely island. We find them to be very comfortable, practical, and nice looking. I will say, my son who is 6'3" likes a higher back to support him better, but my husband and I aren't as tall, and we have been very happy with the back support.
