These are perfect in my newly renovated kitchen. Exactly what I was looking for. I purchased three for use at my waterfall-style kitchen island. We sit in them all the time for meals. The cushions are comfortable and the low back provides just enough support but allows for them to tuck right up against the island when not in use.  My family tends to put their grimy hands all over them, leaving fingerprints all over the upholstery. They wipe perfectly clean with a damp cloth, for which I am grateful. The only negative I would note is that I did have a very tall friend visit me who did not find them as comfortable as I do, as she felt that the seat depth combined with the cantilevered support didn't provide enough leg support for her. Since I am significantly shorter, this counter stool is a perfect fit for me.  Assembly was fairly easy and they arrived with tremendous protective wrapping. I have considered purchasing one more.
