I have a very tall counter in my home and I am pretty short. So I was slightly disappointed at first that the barstools sat a little lower than I expected. However they are very comfortable and look nicer than i expected. Buying for a tall counter I had to choose function over form, especially with my budget. But, I put a pillow on them and  I can reach just fine and it’s a whole new look. All in all very happy with my purchase and I would recommend if you need a taller barstool than what’s mostly out there.
