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
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 bought these after the 30 barstools I bought at Target fell apart under heavy use by my kids. I figured I had gotten exactly what Id paid for, so this time I decided to spend more on commercial grade stools that would (I hope) hold up for several years. I also wanted low backs that would not hit my counter, and I wanted them to swivel.
These stools are very sturdy and were simple to assemble--just screwed the seat to the legs with a power drill and all 3 stools were done in 5 minutes. Shipping was also much quicker than the website predicted. They dont swivel easily, but after a few weeks of use they are loosening up a bit so I hope that continues. The seats are wide and nicely cushioned. Theyre very heavy, which is fine as my kids dont try to move them around as much as they did the old ones, which means less wear and tear on my wood floor. The feet are plastic and while they dont scratch the floor, they do drag and under the heavy weight of the stools will probably wear away at the floor over time, so I am on the hunt for some kind of protectors.
The only major drawback is that it was very hard to tell what the finishes were really going to look like from the website, so they look different than I had hoped they would. The metal is darker and less shiny than I expected, and the seat vinyl has a basketweave design that I had not expected at all. Its a rather incongruous combination of a modern frame with an old-fashioned seat, but sending them back is not realistic so here they stay."..."Read more
