We searched high and low for a stool that was padded, had a back, and swiveled.  I was looking mostly at fabric and faux leather, and was thrilled when I found this in the real deal.  The seats are a true stone taupe color.  The base is what I liked best.  We have black hardware, light fixtures, and appliances, so they’re complimentary.  Not exactly a cinch to assemble, but I found - given the quality - they’re worth the effort.
