These stools are the perfect addition to the new island in my recent remodel project. They have the ability to swivel, which was a must for the integrated space they were used, and the modern low profile added to the semi industrial setting they are used.  They have an authentic bentwood look, but without the high cost of such an item. The foot rest is comfortable and located at the best point for feet without having a sharp edge to hurt feet without shoes. The leather-look seats are comfortable and easy to wipe off when needed. This has been a great choice for our needs
