I love the look of the stools and they are definitely comfortably padded. I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of weight of the chair or the swivel mechanism but if you aren't sitting in the chair and try to swivel it to get into it the entire chair moves and pulls out from my counter and then I have to get in the chair and scooch it forward which I think will put a lot of wear on the wood legs. I fear the foot rest will break one of these days. This however isn't enough of an issue to make me not recommend the chair.We loved how fast the delivery was, packing was doable no issues. Set up was fairly easy. These do come new so with new comes the leather material pretty darn tuff., we haven't had enough time to break them in as normal leather needs before turning comfortable So, keep this in mind. Recommend some pads on the bottom of each leg as they will make marks on your tile/flooring ect. when scooted around. The seats are also spring loaded when turning so they will spring back to the forward position,. again maybe a little wear and tear after awhile will soften the loaded spring. Other than that they seem like a perfect fit.The chairs are comfy and sturdy. Easy to put together. However, the box was missing 1 part of the chair so I'm unable to put the second chair together. I was told the piece is on backorder and have been waiting for 4 weeks to get it. It's frustrating.Built well (Structurally)But once you sit, the foam flattens out on to hard plywood below, that you can feel you are sitting on the plywood with a think layer of cushion.Once you use it, it does not flex back into original state quickly or does not for long time.Great price for a comfortable chair
