Bar stools for worktop height island

Simple painted shaker kitchen, oak table, creamy/beige floor.
Oak stools, modern & trendy www.chaplins.co.uk/brands/index.php/outdoor/outdoor-barstools-1/kartell-masters-bar-stool-by-philippe-starck-and-eugeni-quitllet.html or something else altogether?
I like those industrial ones but I'm worried that they will date and also scratch the floor.
Any ideas?

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Far cheaper than anywhere else, will deliver whenever you want, fantastic.

I have bar stools from them, one of the gas lever up and down didn't work quite like it should, they replaced it foc. One of them squeaked, they replaced it foc.

I second that. I got four stools from them last year after lots of research. Really pleased with stools and their service. One became faulty and was replaced very quickly.

Thanks, I'm having a look. I can decide what would be best in my kitchen, there's too much choice.

What seat height are you looking at? Our kitchen designer suggested 63cm for our island and we have a 8mm depth on the worktop. Does that sound about right? How do you check (kitchen is not being fitted until the end of the year).

Pinkje I think my kitchen designer said about 65cm. I think that's a standard height. Have you chosen?
Despite the enormous choice I can't find any I like unless they're £500 each.

I like these Ercol ones though they don't have a back to them. I wonder if that'd be a nuisance over time. Mind you I don't really want people being too comfortable at my island whilst I work ....... In reality there will be kids doing homework not much else.

They're not dissimilar to the JL ones I was looking at. I suppose they could be tucked away but I'm not sure about comfort either.
In my fantasy world Brad and Angelina my mates will be drinking prosecco at my island, wide eyed with admiration of my cooking skills.
The reality will be DH drinking coffee & reading the paper Grin
