I bought 3 stools for kids at the breakfast bar. The stools look great, however, they are not comfortable for me to sit on but will improve your posture because you have to sit straight because your bottom sits against the chair back. They kids have not mentioned being uncomfortable. I think they are fine for the kids because they are not as tall. They are also a bit slippery to sit in but I am assuming that will go away in time as the sheen wears a bit from normal wear and tear. They look great in the kitchen. Warm and industrial mix.
