These are sturdy and well padded. The swivel is firm so that is nicer for older people trying to get in and out of them. Back support is comfy and well padded too. They have a slight greenish hue to them compared to the greycreamtaupe in my quartz countertop but have gotten positive feedback about them. Seem to match my cabinetry color well. Bonus is that they are faux leather so they wipe clean pretty easy so far.
