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
