I love these barstools. They are extremely comfortable. The seats are large and the wood, though having a rustic rough finish,  is not unsanded or splintered. It is a smooth finish and does not snag clothing. The arms are great for resting your arms while sitting. The backs are at the right height for support. The legs are strong and the foot rests are convenient. The stools are stable and strong, yet lightweight enough to move easily. They glide smoothly and are well balanced. Our little grandson said they are cool, but they don't swivel. Grandma here is thankful for nonswivel. Enough of swiveling littles!
