I looked at hundreds of stools online and found these to be perfect for white kitchen island.  The color is darker than it appears in the photos, to me it looks more like a dark brown in person.  But they were SO easy to put together, perfectly packaged, super sturdy feel, very comfortable to sit on and I love that they have a back that is high enough to offer support, but low enough to not obstruct the counter (can see about 3 or 4 inches of the back from the top of the counter.)  Height seemed perfect for me.   Seem to work well in both modern as well as traditional decor.  Can't beat the price either....  Highly recommend.
