My main reason for buying these was to use at a breakfast bar. I was looking for a stool that swiveled, but didn't take up a lot of space. These fulfilled those requirements. I sometimes work at the breakfast bar and like that the chairs are comfortable, which is something I looked for in the reviews I looked at before making the purchase. The seats are not very large which isn't an issue for me, but it's something to consider when you think about who will be using them.
