I love these! I have a 36" high countertop/island and I needed some stools so I can multi-task (i.e. cook dinner while my kiddos play or do homework) and they are perfect.  My 3 year old climbs up all by herself by getting down is a little trickier. My 5 year old has no issues.  They sit tall enough and low enough for me and hubby to fit our legs under the countertop as well.  It's just what we needed :)
