I purchased 4 stools in black for seating at a long grey and white granite bar facing my kitchen. My decision was based on the low profile so not to obstruct the view from the kitchen to the living area, the retro look, and the reviews for comfort. They arrived on time, were simple to assemble, and the retro look is perfect.  One did arrive with a slit in the seat cushion (box was damaged at that point) which Wayfair remedied immediately. They are truly comfortable and I'm quite pleased.
