This bar stool is amazing! The height is absolutely perfect for my table. My table is a little higher than usual, more island height than normal table height. At first, I was afraid that it might be too high, but it's perfect. The cushions are comfy and sturdy. I love that it has a back to it that I can lean against. I also love the foot rest. I find the foot rest is helpful in hopping onto the stool. My only complaint is that, as a short woman, I wish the foot rest was a few inches higher to make it more comfortable for my feet to rest against while sitting for long periods.
