These stools are lovely. They look very nice. I wanted something with a back and these comfortable enough that you can sit in them for a while. I do feel that the front bar where you would put your feet is a little flimsy compared to the rest of the stool. The cushion doesn't have a support on the bottom. So while it hasn't been a problem for us so far, I do wonder if the cushion will sag over time? But overall I like these stools.
