Here's mine!

cheryl,
just got 'em from target. $133 for the pair. (had to put them together myself). saw a really nice stool on clearance at linen n things today for $32 from $129... it had a brown leather seat with white stitching.

mama - I was just drooling over your kitchen - we're doing exactly the same thing in our kitchen - exactly... scary :)

Can I bother you for where you got your backsplash tile? do you have a close up pic?

thanks :)
cheryl

I got two of these from Target. I was surprised how comfortable and nice they are. $90 each, called Loren, available online too.

hi cheryl,

i hope the link works. GOOD LUCK!!

I'm having these stools made for us. I was visiting and noticed there in the kitchen and fell in love!! Ours will be a little different in terms of woods and color but are basically the backless stool seen on the chair page. I've been assured that they can withstand my children. I'm so excited!!!! I'll post pictures of mine in my kitchen once I actually have a kitchen - hopefully before the stools are finished since there is no more room!!

Mine are from IKEA, counter height with white cotton washable covers which are surprisingly durable! They are quite sturdy, too. I think they have them in dark wood now as well as with a leather seat and they come in both counter and bar heights. $69 for the fabric, $99 for leather.

I looked everywhere and didn't see any that grabbed me till I wandered into Raymour & Flanagan.

My new ones should be arriving any day now - they were pricey!!!

Costco had an intro price for a set of three which fits our island perfectly. I walk behind these all the time and didn't want to trip on legs so I liked the flat base. the height is also adjustable which works for the different heights of people sitting in them.

Penney's often has sales and free shipping with quite a good selection of barstools. We got ours for $199 each with free shipping.

This is the best picture I have right now:

They're really light-weight. That was a problem at first, with the kids climbing up; but DS and DD have figured out how to keep from tipping.

I'm linking in some other ones we found and tested at a local wine bar. They're very attractive, artist-made (neat guy), and comfortable. In the end, we decided they didn't quite fit with the style of the rest of the kitchen.

Mine are rubberwood with black leather upholstery. Very heavy and very sturdy. I like that they swivel, but stay where they stop until you turn them back, unlike our old set. Those were always banging into the counter or someone. I also like that they have metal rims on the footrests, to protect the wood there.

Here they are actually in our new kitchen:

When I walk into the kitchen, I didn't want to see backs breaking the clean lines by peeking up behind the bar, so I got backless stools.

These are Seagrass barstools (26") from Pottery Barn.

Jodi-

Mine are made by Tom Seely, they are light but very well-made. I wanted something with real wood, craftsmanship, and a certain design aesthetic. These look almost japanese with the thin bent wood. They're solid cherry, btw.

These are the ones I've ordered except in natural maple & different fabric. Trying to find nat maple that was NOT colonial style was difficult.

We got the Kyoto bar stools from Design within Reach.

There's a picture of them on my blog. The post before it shows the different ones we considered.

My first criterion for choosing stools was comfort, sturdiness, and good back support as I sit on them while doing my major prep. Then they had to "make a statement" and work with the rest of the kitchen visually. I believe they were about $290 each online; they list at about $500. (I don't know if I ever told DH what I paid, but my machinist BIL was very impressed with their quality, so he may actually have a clue!)

Stainless barstools:

Our stools are Ashley 30" Prairie View.

Please show more! Nuccia, where did you get yours? I love your kitchen.

Mamadadapaige: Do you remember the name of yours from Target. I went online but weren't if it is the Napa Vertical slats. I'm not sure about the merlot color. It will go agains a mahogany bar top on white painted cabinets.

neeter,
here is a link to those stools on target. right now there is 15% plus free shipping, so the price is $133 total for the pair. they are the american simplicity series in warm walnut finish.

hope this helps

These are from Crate & Barrel, cost $99 each, are wonderfully comfortable (despite having no back) - and best of all, they SPIN!!

Took months to find something that both DH and I liked. They should arrive in 4-5 weeks. It's the center one in the pic.

I may recover the seat with different fabric.

dd70 - - - THAT'S MY STOOL! I just had to lay eyes on it and knew my looking days were over! I'm not even the OP!

Would you please share where you got your stools from, please?!

Thank you SO much!
