These modern counter stools are sleek and comfortable. The faux leather is softer than expected and wipes off easily. The short back doesn't provide any support for leaning against but keeps my littles from sliding off backwards. They are on the tall side for standard counter height but not too tall to be comfortably useable for adults. Assembly was straightforward but the foot rest rings were a bit tricky to insert and attach and required an electric drill for a tight fit. There are adjustable plastic foot pieces on the bottom of the legs to accommodate uneven floors and protect floors from scratches as the stools are slid around. Overall pleased with the quality for the price.
