These are absolutely fabulous!  They not only serve a function but they are a design element in their own right, adding beauty to our newly renovated kitchen.  I love how they do not cover up our blue island but allow it to shine through. And my one concern when I placed my order: were they actually comfortable?  The answer is yes!  They are surprisingly comfortable and offer good back support, are warm rather than cold.  I find myself choosing to sit here rather than at the table.  They do get fingerprints easily, so I wipe them down with a damp microfiber cloth which works.  I’m so glad we went with these bar stools!
