Hello Shelley, Bar stools are often problematic... What's on offer with these types of chair in the design world often leaves much to be desired... I see them ruining a good kitchen over and over again, gaudy colours, ghastly design etc etc..... So.... What about introducing another element texture wise... Concrete is a fabulously versatile material... These chairs and bar stools would be lovely by Lyon Beton.. They are beautiful in design and really comfortable- I sat in them at 100% Design... Think they would look beautiful in your kitchen complimenting the metal elements and bringing an additional aesthetic that will "sit" perfectly!! : ) )Bar Stool..

Have you looked at the Hee Barstool by HAY? very reasonably priced and they come in some great colours.

Alexa b it's lovely! I am planning to do my entire downstairs in engineered oak and want to avoid a too 'yellow' colour. Could you tell me which one you used please? It's perfect. Thank you

I really like that last one, even though it has a glass top, but... no corners. Think it will look lovely in your kitchen. Anyway... choices, choices :-) And I like the bench idea too, but would add a round table and two chairs to that.
