    Good for you jjhampton!! She dosen't have to be insulting when she should be trying to help. :(
    They are not cheap on average about $100 a stool...I think for the price they will look great in your space :)

      2nd ones, not only a bit taller but also more sturdy!

      Ithink you need somethimg with more presence. something with a back and upholstered.

      #2. Grounds the space, adds a touch of warmth :)

      #2 here also. The #1s disappear.

      pick the ones that have 12" between seat and counter. the #2s would be absurd to sit on, your knees wouldn't go under the counter.

      i dont care for the #1s though.... so... keep looking.

      oops i'm not allowed to say keep looking. so go with the 1s as the 2s arent actually functional at that height.

      I was assuming if you went with #2 that you would exchange for the correct height...

      #2 for sure.

      I prefer #2, but the first thing to determine is how much use they will get and then how comfortable are they. My household uses the counter stools for at least 2 meals a day and for working on projects. I have 4 upholstered bar stools with backs and 4 that are just wooden stools and no one ever wants to be stuck on the wooden stools. (My counter will seat 8). (Love my counter!)

      I prefer the look of #2 because, like maggys111 stated, you need something with "more presence". However, I also agree with nnigrt in that they are too tall. So, something like #2 but more the height of #1...

    • acm

      get "counter height" rather than "bar height." hopefully #2 has both options.

      #2 They look as if they "fit" with the decor.

      I love #2...the darker color works well with the white island and the mixture of metal and wood adds interest. Good Pick!

      No 2 looks best because it has contrast

      I agree with Maggie that neither option has enough presence.

      The second photo with the wood top stools. They add definition, ground the bar area, and repeat the warmth of the floors.

      2nd one. It blends in too much with the 1st one.

      Not sure if it makes a difference but the reason I chose these two styles is bc they do blend in. I want the shiplap on the island to be the standout here.

      2. I can't stand plastic chairs. They look cheap to me.

    • tgb1
      vor 8 Jahren

      The shiplap is the standout, and it's gorgeous - but you need to be comfortable. Even with 4 stools there you'll still be able to see that feature...

      I'm actually really surprised no one likes the look of the acrylic barstools. I love this look! And let's keep in mind my kitchen is no where near complete. We just moved in. Lots of decorating to do still!
    • Judy Mishkin

      i think they are fine, although i'd not like to be cleaning them all the time. when you imagine 4 of them there its nicer than 4 of the more 'stand out' ones.

      2nd picture but you need 3 of them. With just 2 they look lost
    • Jillian - Interior design student

      I think the aversion to lucite is that sometimes it can come off looking cheap and plastic. If you go in that direction, choose quality high-end pieces. Here is one from Wayfair that combines lucite with satin nickel.

    • Janie
      vor 8 Jahren
      I just realized the 2nd ones are too tall for the counter....you want to be comfortable so go with the first ones if they're the right height & I think you get get 4 of those.
    • jjhampton

      There will be 4 after I decide witch ones! I've mentioned that several times.

    • shiningautumn888
      vor 8 Jahren

      It doesn't matter if there are 8 of them, they still don't have enough presence and visual weight for that large a space. Something with an upholstered seat and back would look great. Lots of styles out there to choose from.

    • jjhampton
      Ursprünglicher Verfasser

      Definitely don't want anything upholstered. I have had that in the past and it's something I don't want again.
    • zzmom40

      I love your ghost stools...I think they are fun and add a modern fun touch...very practical just wipe them off...because of the size you could maybe do 4.
    • Belahn

      The first ones look like the came from the dollar store. Our local Family Dollar has those in right now. Or possibly, they could be purchased at WalMart. Both choices are bad. You need bar stools with a back in this nice kitchen.

      Belahn, it says in your profile that you don't like "modern" style. And I use to be the same but I love it now! But it also makes your comment completely invalid to me! Maybe I should run to my local dollar store though bc I would be getting a huge discount! And I love a good discount ;)

      I think to be comfortable for any length of time, you need seat pads and backs. This is just my opinion of course.

    • drememon

      You and your family are the only ones who know if you "need" pads and backs. I think the ghost stools are great. Love Phillipe Starck.

    • suezbell

      Of the two, the second looks sturdier; however, neither look comfortable.

      Consider an Amish saddle bar stool:

      https://assets.dutchcrafters.com/product_images/pid_3520-Amish-Mule-Foot-Saddle-Bar-Stool-35.jpg

      The holes in the seat are for lifting the bar stool with one hand. The ones I tried you don't feel the hand handles when you sit on them.

      jjhampton, I love discounts, too!!! And there's never, ever anything wrong with saving $! The ghost chairs don't look cheap, they look fun and funky. However, my preference is #2 because the ghosts chairs seem like a pain to keep clean, but your kitchen is beautiful so whatever you choose will look great. Choose what you like, it's your house and you'll be enjoying it everyday. Just ask yourself which ones would you like to see when you get up every morning.... and there's your answer.

      #2. It fits the style of your kitchen better. Great kitchen!

    • NancyK
      vor 8 Jahren

      I like how #2 looks. I spent a long time looking for the right counter stools, the ones I did get followed the rule for distance to counter, they are 12 inches lower than the counter, and everyone who sits in them finds them too low. You want everyone to be comfortable sitting in them. Mine have a back, my plan was to have family/friends sit and chat with me while I do my prep, comfort was really important.

      Two. The wood contrast looks nice.

    • Jen

      #2! I love the rustic element that it provides.

    • Lisa G
      vor 8 Jahren

      I like the 2nd option the best. I feel like #1 doesn't mesh well with the style of your kitchen. Double check the height of the wood seat stools...are they too high to tuck your legs under the island?
