We are happy with how solid and versatile these stools are.  Yes, as another review mentioned, the seat is a bit big in that it is a bit disproportionate to the back but honestly that is what makes it feel stable for any duration.  We use them primarily for a counter just over 34 inches to the surface and I am 5'4" and can rest my feet on the bottom rim fine.  They seem clean lined and industrial at the same time.  Would purchase again.
