If I were to design a Bar stool, this is what I would have chosen to have. My husband is a metal worker and he was very impressed with the durability, Strength, and workmanship. This stool’s unique pattern on the front and back of the  back rest makes for a very classy, unique look. The seat is wipeable, which I love. No wondering if you can discolor or damage upholstered seats. Simply wipe and everything comes off easily and quickly. A friend who is having back issues remarked about how comfortable the stool is. Well worth the price.
