I absolutely love theses stools. I shopped for months until I finally decided on these, and I am so glad I did.  There are so many upsides to these stools that I don’t know where to start.  Like the other reviews noted, they do look expensive, which was important to me. However, comfort is almost as important for me. The seat is roomy, the back is high enough for good support, and the seat height is perfect for my counter height table. I am definitely happy with my purchase.
