I purchased 2 sets for a total of 4 in white. The cushions are on the thinner side. The backs are lower, but I like the cleaner sight lines when they aren't sitting higher than the counter. Although not real leather, they look pretty good. You have to be careful sitting on the stool especially if it is positioned on the higher side because it poses a tip hazard. Lastly, we had zero issues putting them together, but All Of the seat cushions have become crooked. I actually feel safer sitting on a regular chair but will sit at breakfast bar on occasion if my daughter wants me to sit with her. Believe me, that I am extra careful getting on and off when I do.
