The bar stools are very comfortable according to the family.  Unfortunately, we did not realize that the stools are a bit taller then we expected.  When we sit on the stools by our counter our arms are not able to rest on the counter.  We have to lower our arms a bit to grab our drink kind of idea.  We would recommend to measure exactly where the stool will be height wise against your counter.  We are not returning the stools because they are a good product for the money.
