We purchased 5 of these bar stools for our counter height island. The chairs are stylish and comfortable. My husband requested swivel chairs, and these chairs advertise swivel; however, they only turn to the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position, and even then it is a fight. To watch television, we must get up and turn the chair around. The more you try to swivel the tighter the return spring gets. To get out of the chair using the swivel, the chair moves on the floor because the spring is so strong. Forget a true swivel.
