Re: Actually Comfortable Counter Stools...

The chairs do look comfortable, but even treated chairs like this will get dirty. Most of my padded ivory dining chairs that were treated have spots and stains now. 

 

The kitchen itself needs more color. The dark floor is gorgeous. I don’t mind white cabinets, but a darker backsplash would help break up the white. That change with darker chair fabric would better suit my taste.

Re: Actually Comfortable Counter Stools...

This is a very appealing open area.  Normally I do not care for islands and the high chairs which never look comfortable.  However, these chairs look comfortable, I agree.

That is morphing into a dining table.

 

I would rather have a smaller, working island and some sitting, like a sofa and chairs, in the kitchen.  You just know that is where everyone ends up.

It works because the table is large enough.

Re: Actually Comfortable Counter Stools...

I would love counter chairs that were comfy.  Mine are wood and I don’t like sitting in them.  I’m on the fence if I could keep them clean.  Tempting though

Very nice.

 

The trick will be finding an attractive ladder.

 

Those cabinets look out-of-reach.

To me, these are counter chairs.  Stools don't have backs (in my mind anyway.)  However I agree that counter chairs are preferable because they have backs; and the ones pictured here look very comfortable.


@faeriemoon  I think the main reason I deemed them comfortable is exactly what you're saying. They're chairs on stilts and not the typical stools, often with no backs, that are good for seating for about fifteen minutes tops...

Re: Actually Comfortable Counter Stools...

Love everything, but I would get the stools with a hunter green fabric instead of the white.

@QVCkitty1 I completely agree on the table and chairs preference... What I don't much get are kitchens like this one that appear to have both... Who needs counter seating when there appears to be a breakfast area over by the window? That said, this looks to be a large kitchen space, so they pretty clearly had room to spare and if you're going to have counter seating as they opted to do, then why not make it comfy!! I like it too... It's attractive and functional...
