Price is the winner in the pro column.  They are not the most comfortable for my husband who us 6' tall,  he finds the back to short.  I am 5'2" and struggle to get on them.  It's not very graceful.  I don't have a problem with the comfort.  We had a hard time finding stools for the 34" we needed and these work well until we find a better quality, sometime in our far future.  The "pleather" feels cheap however for the money, it's worth buying.
