We originally wanted bar stools with backs, but when I found these they were just too cute to pass up. We got the 'light blue' which has a turquoise tint to it which is perfect! The color and rustic design go great with our rustic chic kitchen and living room. The only downside is they're not the most comfortable seat. I'm looking at making some cushions to help soften them up. Overall, great stool with very sturdy structure and great design!
