I love these barstools. They’re exactly the right height for my island counter, and they were easy to put together, though one screw refused to fit so I just left it out. I love the swivel because they’re easy to get in and out of. The nubby fabric is neutral, with just enough gray to coordinate well with my granite countertop. The metal footrests look to be fairly scratch resistant. Also included are small pads to put on the legs so they do not scratch my hardwood floors. I also like that the backs give some support, but they’re not so tall that they become their own unneeded focal point.
