I went shopping everywhere to find bar stools that fit my kitchen and finally landed on this one I really enjoy.  It has a modern feel but is also quite comfortable. It is sturdy, has a strong cushion, is easy to wipe clean, and fits nicely under the countertop.  It is probably not as comfortable as stools with high back support, but I rather not worry about the swivel stool continually hitting the countertop.  Someone did comment that the metal feels cold to the touch in comparison to an all cloth or wood chair, but I never really notice it.
