These are perfect! We did a kitchen remodel and I looked for MONTHS for counter stools that would work with my transitional style. These are a bit contemporary but the wood adds the rustic touch I needed and doesn't compete with our hickory floor or log accents in the ceiling. They are comfortable, a bit higher than our old ones and although I was thinking of a bright color, the white looks great with our marble countertops. The chrome legs look more polished in the photo, but they are actually brushed chrome which I like much better. They will be easy to clean, really solid construction, were super easy to assemble and look much more expensive than they were. Couldn't be happier!
