These stools are beautiful! They're overall height including the back does not surpass the height of a kitchen counter, which helps to create an uninterrupted sight line in my open concept home. This is exactly what I was looking for! The only downside is that the resting bar for your feet feels a little high on the stool. I personally don't find it uncomfortable, though it did take some getting used to. 
Overall great buy and fantastic experience with wayfair!
