I looked high and low for the perfect bar stools and purchased 3 of these which look fantastic with my burgundy color scheme in the living/dining room.  The chairs are the perfect height for the countertop where we sit for breakfast in the morning to eat and read the paper.  My husband spends much of he day in one of these chairs at the counter working on the computer too.  They are of good quality, although 1 of the holes did not match up correctly, which seems to be a recurring problem as I read other reviews.  So we have one hole without a screw and hope that it will hold up.  Other than that, we love these bar stools!
