We looked at multiple sites for our stools before settling on the Nathan James set. I was worried that the price point would mean lower quality and even though we’re only a little over a month in, I couldn’t be happier. The seats are comfortable (we have sat at the counter for hours and still been good) and the back height is ideal for us given that we’re at the age now where a little support in the back is needed. Last the fabric is smooth/comfy and easy to clean (we’ve got a toddler).
