I was on the hunt for the perfect counter height bar stool for our new home. I wanted something clean and classic, as well as comfortable enough to function as additional seating to bring over to the entertainment area if needed (our sofa won't arrive for a while!) These stools have yet to disappoint! They are exactly what I expected as far as color, and do not clash with my "espresso" colored kitchen table. They are as comfortable as I hoped, and fill the kitchen out nicely. Great price, and totally worth it! 100% recommended!
