I put off ordering these because they were a little out of my price range, but finally broke down. They look so perfect in my 1900 renovated home with a bit of a modern flair!  The bases are great for not scratching up my hardwood floors and the adjustable height is very handy. My only complaint is that they r very slippery to sit on and the finish on the seat itself is already getting marked up from fancy jean pockets.
