I bought this before i bought my other set (Liv Velvet bar stool).  These are not at all comfortable.  They are pretty to look at, but you can only sit on them for about 7 minutes.  They are had on the bottom but also, they want to tip over because they are high and so it's like you're sitting trying to balance yourself all the time on this hard uncomfortable surface.  They look good in the picture and the cost is low, but it's not something you want to spend time in at all.  I would recommend the Liv Velvet Bar Stool.  OMG those are beautiful and COMFORTABLE.  you can sit in them for hours and they're perfect.  I bought this set and then ended up buying the other to replace it.
