This is a basic bar stool that we are using at our counter-height kitchen island. Love the swivel feature of the chair, allowing a person to swivel away from the counter instead of scooting the bar stool on the floor...saves our wood floor from potential scratches. We've knicked the edge of the wood a bit where it hits the counter edge, but I'd rather have a stool with a back instead of a backless stool, and the knicks are easy enough to repair with a furniture scratch pen.
