Just remodeled my kitchen to a slightly taller counter (bar height). I needed a stool tall enough (at least 30 ") without having to buy the adjustable ones. The description says it's 30", but it really measures just barely 29" and the foam inside the cushion was a little short; it didn't extend all the way to the back of the chair, therefore leaving about a 2" gap. Other than that, it's a beautiful chair, but just doesn't fit. It will cost $75 to ship back, I'll just keep it and put it in my guest room.
