These are very pretty stools and I'd love to say I kept them, but I had to send them back.  The title and description are a little deceiving. The 36.5" is the height of the BACKS, not the seat as most others are.  Also, the 28" on the seat height within the description is also not accurate when a person is sitting in them as they are plush and you'll sink another inch or so.  We needed bar height stools that are on the taller side (29-30" seats) to be comfortable, so these just don't work...and I"m really sad about it.
