I bought the red barstools for my white kitchen, and they look great. The fabric is not too bright like the ice cream type shiny stools, and is still modern looking. It was easy to assemble and the height adjustment works as expected. The leg rest also does not jut out as much as seat, so when I push them under my island, the soft leather hits the cabinets below first, as opposed to banging against the metal. Great purchase!
