Like most people I bought one first to check it out, then bought three more. They are not that difficult to put together, but with allen wrenches everything takes a bit longer and power tools wouldn't work as well in this case anyway. They are larger than they appear - the cushion seems to be at least 16" in diameter, but I have not measured it. This extra size makes it feel oh-so-comfy.
We bought these to be used at a breakfast bar opposite the kitchen island. When not in use they tuck neatly under the counter so don't really take up that much room. We had thought about getting stools with backs on them, but were glad we didn't since swiveling would cause the back to smash into the counter and we are the kind of people who really like to swivel. I am pretty sure it would be hard to beat these stools in the comfort category. Good height for average size people to just "slide on". The little footies are covered with a plastic coating so they won't scratch wood floors, but just in case we added some of those little sticky pads anyway.
All Bar Stools is a great place to buy stools - we got them for the best price here."..."Read more
We were looking for some rustic style simple stools for the breakfast bar in our eat in kitchen. These are perfect for a counter height bar. We bought a fourth to use at the built in desk in the kitchen because it slides completely under the desk and takes up less room than a traditional chair. One of the four bar stools has a problem with the treading so it doesnt swivel freely like the other three. We are still able to turn it to adjust the height, but it takes some effort. That is our only complaint - other than that they look good and work great for the space."..."Read more
This chair is the perfect height for the balcony in a high-rise condo because it's taller than a standard chair height so it's tall enough to be looking comfortably over the railing without being so tall, as with a bar height stool, that you feel like you're going to fall over the railing. I've only had it a few days, but it appears to be well built. Just the right weight. It feels nice to sit in.
The problem with it is finding a table or counter that matches the height. Most are either regular table height or bar height, which would not work."..."Read more
I love the stools, the seat cover is gorgeous and the swivel works great and my young teenage son easily put the together. [...] The only thing.... the stools are GIANT in diameter. I used to have four stools at my counter so I bought four of these and only three can fit comfortable. I am keeping the fourth to pull up on the other side of the counter as needed, but I really only should have purchased three stools to fit my space. SO MEASURE you space and check the size of the stools before you order. Other than that I love them."..."Read more
