We've now had time to live with these chairs and we really love them! I searched for a while for an acrylic chair that was closer to 26" because our kitchen island was too high for 24". These work great when adding the swivel, and the kids love the swivel. We've gotten many compliments on them, and I love how they seem to disappear in the kitchen given clear acrylic. The only downside is that you can see lots of kids fingerprints and smudges on them, but the upside is they are very easy to clean!
