I have 5 of these stools and love them! They are black wood stools with black vinyl seats. The seats are comfortable and easy to clean. They are seats and the seat height is 24 inches, but with the seat cushion, it is more like 25 1/2 inches. The height of the chair back is 38 1/2 inches. There are 2 sizes of this particular stool on the Wayfair.com website - be sure to check the dimensions carefully before you order because there is a taller bar stool, this one is considered a counter stool.
