Which bar stools do you prefer?

[spunkarella]

Do you like either of these barstools? They would be used by guests congregating in the kitchen, not on an everyday basis. 

Backless pros: DH thinks we don't have room for barstools. These take up zero room because they fit under the counter, so there.   They are cheaper and have slightly better ratings. 

X-back pros: I think these are prettier, and the back would provide more stability and comfort. We could use chair cushions. They would stick out a little into the walkway, though. 

Sorry, having trouble with pip.

Thanks for your help! I look forward to posting more as we slowly start to decorate our new house!

Ooh, I do really like those and that is a great price! I was trying to find something at Walmart because we have gift cards to use. I'm sure I could find something else to use the cards on though. Thanks!

Friends have the saddle seat ones and I find them to be really comfortable. It may depend on the size of the actual seat.

FormerlyRR thanks for the tip about the pier 1 stools. Those sound nice but I think our cats would destroy the wicker despite our best efforts.

I'd keep looking unless you truly don't have space for them. ; neither is very special. In that case, I prefer the saddle seat ones. They can be a little hazardous if your parties include young child or drunks. The crossbacks look awfully cheap- the seat is completely flat rather than curved to accommodate buttocks.
