We had 3 old clunker bar stools at our breakfast bar that had backs on them - very difficult to move and clean around. We replaced them with 4 of these stools; my husband was skeptical since they were less bulky, he was afraid they wouldn't be the right height (note: I had measured the leg height before I placed the order, so I knew they were fine!). Everyone loves them, very simple lines, comfortable, the swivel is a great feature and they easy to keep clean and move around so I can get the floor clean. The floor protectors on the bottom are a plus!
