These are nice looking, comfortable, and solid stools. I purchased three of them and they are perfect for my kitchen island. The tops of the stools are only an inch higher than the counter. I thought this would be too short at first, but it is actually a really good height and it gives a lower profile.  The only issue I have is that two of them are wobbly until you sit on them. One is a little wobbly and the other is a lot wobbly. This is not ideal, but I can live with it since they don't wobble when sitting on them.
