These stools are attractive to look at but they are TINY. Adults cannot sit comfortably on the very small seat. I am a smaller woman and it is even way too small for me. The seat also slopes forward a bit which makes it even more uncomfortable. Very disappointed after spending the money and taking the time to assemble the stools. These should be marketed as children's stools. As far as aesthetics, they are attractive but so small that they are dwarfed by the kitchen island/breakfast nook I got them for.
