I really like the way these look, but there were two problems:  1) the right leg seems to be shorter than the others. It's possible it was "operator error" on putting things together, but it was true for all of the chairs, so I don't know. 2) It's a little difficult to get out of the saddle style seat for the bar-height stools. My sister has the exact same stools in the counter-height, and they are fine. Maybe because you can touch your foot to the ground for leverage?
