These are very nice folding stools. But, I would warn you not to stand on the foot rest to get up on the stool. I really wanted counter height folding stools, since I'm so short. But, I cannot find them anywhere. So I bought two of these. Unfortunately, I tried to use the foot rest to help myself up and it broke. The stool is still useable, but not as attractive. Still hoping to find something just like this in a counter height.
