The only styles we liked in our price range (~$160 ea)
came with some type of stamped pattern on the seat back. Our
choices included lighthouses, cowboys on bucking horses,
a hunter and his dog and a few others. The one we picked
was the only one that seemed remotely appropriate for a
kitchen. (I asked, but you can't get a seat back without
a stamped pattern.) The seats swivel and we picked the
micro-fiber seat cushion. Comfortable to sit in, but the
thin bar to put your feet on is a little uncomfortable
in socks. So if you're coming for breakfast, wear shoes. ;)
