These barstools are so wonderful.  I bought 3 of them because I added a long island to the kitchen and thishas become the gathering hole of the house.  My guest automatically gravitate to these barstools because they are stunning and once they sit down, they do not get up because they are very comfortable.  There's something about being in a place "where everybody knows your name and they're always glad youcame".  My kitchen has become the favorite neighborhood bar...for coffee, tea, or whatever...because of my Aristocles bar stools.  I just went online to order another one, just in case I wear these out...but they are out of stock.  Understandlaby so!
