Stools are stylish and reasonably comfortable.  The low backs give just enough feeling of holding your seat in place without feeling like you are sliding off, yet, it allows the kids to do the "spinny wiggles" all they want without banging the back against the counter top.

We bought 4 of the, and the frames on a couple of them had one slightly short leg, even after final tightening with weight on them.  After applying felt pads to protect the floors, there's no noticeable wobble other than from the thread mechanism.

They are not totally perfect, but, we are quite pleased and would buy again.
