Searched for a long time before finding these nice swivel bar stools for my kitchen bar. I discovered that bar stools that swivel are much less likely to scrape and damage the floor as people use them. The leather cushion makes it comfortable. And for bar stools, a back is really unnecessary. These were a bargain, too, compared to others. My only complaint is that the little sliders on the legs tend to come off. I've had to glue most of them back on already.
