After a very extensive search of the available stools (it's amazing how many are available) I spotted the Drees Swivel counter stool and immediately fell in love with the design. It is perfectly proportioned and elegant  and appeared to be high quality construction. After receiving it, I am even more pleased with both the design and construction. I tried to order two more but it is out-of-stock. I am on the list to be informed when it becomes available.
My hours of searching paid off this time.
