Barstools

My main objectives, when STARTING my bar stool search, were to find bar stool that matched my decor, had a clean/contemporary look, and didn't cost an arm and and leg.I went to a local barstool store and quickly discovered that most bar stools were uncomfortable. The cusions are very soft and provide no support at all. Sit on the stool for more than a few minutes and it feels like you are sitting on a bare wood barstool. The back supports are not angled correctly, forcing you to hunch or otherwise sit in an uncomfortable position. Most back supports are also the wrong hieght so they dig into your lower back when you lean back. The bar stools that are in the $100-$200 price range are really cheap. So, after spending about two hours testing bar stool, this New Rochelle barstool was the clear winner. The cusion is thick and supportive. The back is angled perfectly and is rounded so it kind of "hugs" you. The price is in the higher-mid range. Assembly of the bar stool war very simple, but it would have been nice if instructions were included.The only issues I have are: ALL bar stools are over-pricedThere were no assembly instructionsThe only reason that I don't give it a 5-star rating is because I wanted a more modern look and bar stool prices are too high - all bar stools, not just this one. But, I did get each bar stool for [$] less than what the local shop was selling it for."..."  Read more

We purchased two of the 30 inch Carol custom stools and two "non-cushion" Aloha barstools for our 43 inch tall kitchen bar to try and cut down the overall cost (by not buying 4 of these more expensive stools). We purchased the 30 inch stool and found the height to be much better than the 29 inch Aloha stools we purchased. We've had the stools for approximately 2.5 months and we wished we would have paid the extra money to buy 4 of the Carol stools.They look great, and are far more comfortable with the cushion and back rest on them. There are 4 of us in our family and we often race to the bar to get the "good stool" (Carol stool) first. That kind of says it all![...] We discovered that we have additional room for more barstools and will definitely be purchasing the Carol stools. They are worth the additional investment for your comfort as well as that of your guests."..."  Read more

Not many local stores carry tall kitchen counter stools. I needed stools to use with a 45" bar height kitchen counter. I researched several online sites and found Wayfair to have the best selection and lowest prices. The quality of my Tempo barstools is excellent. The seat diameter is 17" and the 3" padding is very comfortable!"..."  Read more

We ordered the barstools with the swivel and classic seat. We use these stools at our kitchen island. They are extremely comfortable. My husband is a big guy (6'3") and he finds the stools very comfortable to sit on. We were concerned that the stools didn't have a back and we would find them uncomfortable, but that is not the case. The stools came assembled which was a plus. The swivel takes just the right amount of pressure to move. I thought the stools would be a little smaller in width than they are, but this probably is a plus on the comfort side."..."  Read more
