I bought 4 of these beige stools for our kitchen island about 6 months ago.  They work perfectly, very comfortable, and everyone who comes in our house, pulls one out and sits down!  I bought rubber leg protectors so they don't scratch the hardwood floors, and I sprayed them with Scotchgard for protection from stains.  My husband who is 6'1" said yesterday, "I sure like these stools.  They are really comfortable."
