I wanted a saddle style barstool with a wider seat for safety of our 2 smaller children. I LOVE THEM!! They are very sturdy, heavy, and nearly impossible to tip over with the kids on them. Not to mention they look great and the two-tone finish goes incredibly well with our other kitchen / dining room furniture. My mother-in-law is now looking for barstools and I told her she HAS to check out Wayfair, best selection and prices by far!
