These are fantastic bar stools! 
The are incredibly strong and sturdy. The height is easily adjusted with a discreet chrome handle bar under the seat. The foot bar is perfectly & comfortably located under foot, and doesn't rough-up the inner leather of a lady's high-heel (like many foot bars do). The cushion is like soft matte Italian leather and the chair back is a beautiful windowpane-like design that seems as it was carved from one piece of wood. I bought two to accentuate the small side bar in the upstairs living room, as seen here.
