I purchased 3 of these stools for a kitchen counter overhang. 24" was perfect. The color is rich and true to picture. The black seat is a great compliment. The swivel is a wonderful feature. All of this for a really reasonable price. My only comment....the lattice back is not the same wood as the frame. It's not very strong and my fast moving 18 yr old sat down hard and quick and cracked the lattice one day after assembly! Other than this setback....I LOVE the chairs and would recommend buying them.
