The  Kameron 30" bar stools are just right for our new kitchen island. They have soft seats, but the sides curve up so they provide excellent support. The back of the chair is also sturdy, as it is all one piece. It took us no time at all to set them up and they were packaged very well and arrived very quickly. The color I chose was a neutral brown and it goes so well with a mixed color granite. They are not too high or too short. The legs have a bar on three sides of the stool for foot support and balance. You can purchase these with confidence, you will not be disappointed.
