These barstools are perfect! The streamlined shape does not take up a lot of room when not in use. They feel very sturdy and the wood is really cool with lots of character. Don’t expect the wood to be finished with an kind of sealer. It’s pretty raw but not rough enough to snag clothes unless you’re wearing something like maybe satin or a fine silk. I love the character and charm of the wood and it blends in nicely with my style and decor.
