BUY THESE! ha No but really, we ADORE these bar stools and will purchase another set. So comfortable for me (5'3") and my husband (6'2"), and our little kids don't fall off/slide around. We especially love that they don't look like chairs you'd buy just b/c you have kids and really like that the seat cushion can be removed for easy cleaning. We have the wine/burgundy color and they add style and color without overpowering our kitchen area (dark wood island, black granite, and white cabinets). All bar stools are pricy if you are purchasing a decent quality stool, but these deliver HIGH value on their price. Lastly, the deep wine color hides a multitude of sins from a toddler's messy hands. VERY happy with this purchase!
