The bar is counter height so these stolls measure apx. 25 inches. They are very comfy. Putting them together was very easy until I got to the seats. The screws that came with would not hold the stoll seat. I had some longer screws and used them. Perfect! Because of that I would probably give them a 4 3/4 stars. The legs are not completely black, they have brown throughout. They go really nice with the wine bar I also bought.
