I had wanted a simple architects stool - or the kind in a science classroom. My husband wanted these.  They are so comfortable! Large round highly cushioned seats.  Arm rests where they need to be... I'm 5'2" my husband 6'2" and they are comfortable for both of us. Very sturdy. And, easy to put together.

Pros: Super comfortable, easy to assemble
Cons: Broad backs may hinder an 'open' feeling in a room
