I love the look of these! Perfect height for counter top- many that I looked at just sat too low and looked silly. These sit just enough below the counter to allow you to sit comfortably and eat/ work at the counter. The wood color is perfect and the seat does not read plastic at all- it has a great matte finish to it. My only issue is similar to others- the seat itself overhangs the frame enough that you can not comfortably put your feet on the foot rest- so for anyone sitting for long periods in them it may be a bit tricky. Otherwise- they're perfect!
