I shopped for counterstools for a long time for a new kitchen. I purchased and returned several. These fit all my criteria￼ sleek and modern and able to wipe clean. They are pretty comfortable as far as stools are concerned. Practical for my young busy family - sturdy but still lightweight to easily move around. The back doesnt have a 4th foot bar which i love bc i can sweep and vaccum easily.  Easy to assemble. Just got them so cant speak to how durable they are. My husband is not a small person and he feels secure on it too.
