Barstools

We've had these stools about a month, with daily use at the kitchen island by kids and adults. They are wonderful, and we couldn't be happier! Ours are the dark cherry seats and black bases. What we like: - solid build, with thick wood, sturdy legs, and strong plastic floor guards. There's not a wobble in these babies! - quality wood and staining - they swivel, but not willy-nilly; the kids, therefore, aren't constantly spinning and wearing on them, but with a little push, anyone can swivel to get the seating "just right" - comfortable; we weren't sure how comfy wood seats would be with no padding, but these are quite comfortable for the kids, an average size woman, and a big guy - classy look with clean lines, no back to interfere with or bump into the countertop There's simply nothing we don't like! We had some question about the difference between this stool and the higher-priced Holland Misha stool. The Misha has more seating and color options, but after talking with Wayfair, we half expected that the difference was the swivel. This stool mentions warranty info for the swivel mechanim, but neither we nor the Wayfair were sure about that after trying to compare the two. So for the record, this stool *does* swivel 360*. The stools come fully assembled, ready to use right out of the box. All in all, these are classy, well-made stools we would buy again and heartily recommend."..."  Read more

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

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

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
