My husband and I were looking for counter-height stools for our new 7-foot island in our remodeled kitchen.  We wanted something with a back rest, and also a material that would wipe clean easily and withstand our 4 and 2 year old children.  We came across these and they seemed to fit our ideas perfectly.  They arrived earlier than expected and were a breeze to put together.  These stools are comfortable, sleek, and very easy to wipe clean.  Another great Wayfair purchase!
