I recently had my kitchen remodeled, resulting in an open counter-type seating arrangement on the dining room side. I wanted something "different" for seating and I found it in the Dora bar stools. I ordered two and they fit perfectly with my black and chrome dining room decor. Plus they take me back to my days of sitting at a Dora in my hometown in PA, sipping at a eating a CMP! What a delight to be able to emulate something from my teenage years! These stools caught my eye as soon as I saw them and my husband and I are very happy with them. They are well made and eye-catching! We hope to have them for many future years as part of our family!
