Sturdy, thick padding, comfortable. The green color is unique. Fabric is soft but wipeable without pilling. Kudos to a previous buyerreview… they had a great idea to add leather straps to the backs. Now the stools have an elevated look that goes with my shades. One issue I had was that one seat got damaged during shipping but it was replaced right away. I think they need to rearrange they way they are packed up so that the metals don’t damage the seats. Great buy and 2 for 150!!
