We bought four of these for our kitchen. These are very attractive, and receive many compliments from guests! They are comfy, and you can even lean back a bit in them—the back support has a bit of spring in it, and it feels great even for long-term sitting. My one concern is that it is a bit slippery, which makes me worry about my elderly parents getting in and out of it. Granted, this is at bar height; I think they would feel more stable at counter height.
