I'm very happy with the comfort, style and look of these counter stools.  I searched for a good while before picking these.  They not only look great but are super comfortable and light enough to easily move around.  The upholstery fabric has a suede-like look, but it's a sturdy, soft microfiber.  I 'assembled' them and that says something for the ease of putting them together.  The bar across the front where you rest your feet has a slight curve that adds style and comfort.  With no lower horizontal bar across the back of the chairs, the look is simple and stylish in the room.
