They are uncomfortable. May be great for children but not an adult. I am 5'2 and feel like I am sliding out of the chair, the spindles push you forward and makes it awkward with the design. The depth of the chair from spindles to edge is listed correctly at 14.2", most stools are 15'+ and it makes a difference. The low back and positioning of spindles makes for an uncomfortable chair unless you are leaning forward. I have done some price comparisons and dimensions and think this will go back. Fortunately, I only put one together.   They look nice but not for everyday use.
