Bought these after kitchen renovation. Space was limited for seating around the island due to construction code requirements so I bought these to use when needed. These are the perfect height and conveniently stores under an open counter in another section of the newly renovated kitchen. I am delighted and wish I had more room to buy more. Oh,,,,,,,,,,, one more thing,,,,,,,,,,,,, they easily hold a 230 lb. person. I only weigh 188 lbs.
