I searched high and low for the right size stools for our island. I wanted a sleek design that tucked in tight under the island ovens, as it is a narrow space and I didn't want legs that splayed out too far. These are PERFECT. Solid, well made, and the rustic gray wood finish fits in perfectly with our decor. I couldn't be more happy with them. And the price was amazing!!! I literally would have paid twice the amount to get these, they were that ideal.
