I agree the clear ones aren't right for your space.

And I'm not sure I like the heavy base on the white one.

I like the kind of weathered grey of your lights above the peninsula and I wonder if grey fabric or if you could find wooden legs or wooden stools in a similar stain to those lights.

Here are a few I found quickly on Wayfair.

I have some that are a similar shape to these below.....they are surprisingly comfortable and work well because they are low profile and can shove right in under the counter to be out of the way for traffic.

I worry about bases like this scratching up my floors. They look great - it depends on how indestructible your floors are.

I personally like a fixed stool, not a swivel. I've seen those swivels go crashing into the edges of the counter and make a chip or in one case a real gouge out of the edge of the counter.

It depends on how often and how long you might sit on those stools how much comfort you need. Are they used all the time and would you or family members hang out there - maybe kids doing homework or meals eaten there? If you choose a fabric make sure it can be wiped clean.
