First Things First

This tip works with a lot of furniture and worked well with the stools. You should leave the screws loose and then tighten them at the very end. This way, you won’t have any problem with lining up the parts to the holes. The holes are pre-drilled, which makes assembly even easier. Assembly went smoothly except for the part where one of the holes was too shallow for the screw to go all the way in. I had to carefully drill that part to make way for the screw. Other than that, assembly is simple. Assembly would take about 20 minutes per stool.

There are wooden caps in the box. These are useful for concealing screws and giving you an illusion that there are no screws at all. That gives the stool a completely elegant look. Screws can be an eyesore if they’re sticking out, so the caps are a must.

There are 2 available heights for the stools. They work great with countertops, kitchen islands, and bars.  It goes without saying that you must check the height of the table where you plan to have the stool. It’s too much trouble to have to return them or ask for replacement if you got the height wrong.

Comfort

The seat is slightly contoured for comfort. This is a great ergonomic feature. These stools don’t need cushions on them. The subtle curve on the seat makes the stool much more comfortable than without. I imagine that without the contour, it would be a pain to sit on. As the stool does not come with a backrest, it’s important that the seat is as comfortable as possible. Sitting on a stool usually causes pain in the tailbone. The curve on the seat relieves pain from this part of the body.

The chairs come with 4 foot bars each where you can rest your feet. Foot bars are a must for high-profile seats. Sitting on stools can become uncomfortable and they help ease any discomfort. They seem very sturdy and don’t look like they are going to fall off with frequent use. The bars come with a metal rung to reinforce the footrest and protect the wooden foot bars from scratches. This is a nice touch. I don’t usually see this in stools.

Style and Durability

The stools sit flat on the floor with none of the wobble. They are stable enough to be used by kids and durable enough for adults to sit on. For such a superb product, these come with an excellent price. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can get this item with free shipping and save more.

The stools have a good weight to them. At the same time, they are light enough to be lugged around. You can move it around the house where you need it. The stools are versatile since you can use it anywhere – your living room, kitchen, bar, and backyard. If you’re having more guests than you anticipated, you can use the stools as extra chairs for your guests.

It’s a plus that the feet come with felt pads. The pads protect the floor from scratches when you pull out or push the stools under the table.

The stools would look good in your bar if you’re going for a classic look. The stools have a timeless look. You won’t have to worry about it going out of style in the future. That’s one advantage of getting wood furniture. The stools would match the overall look of your kitchen if you have wooden cabinet doors. If you’re looking for an accent piece, the stools are not the ones you’re after.

There are wood grains on the surface of the stool. They are not easily noticeable but they do give the stools a natural look. The finish is smooth and flawless. You won’t find a bump or rough spot on the stool. Be careful with sharp objects as these can scratch or chip the surface. In any case, you can get yourself a furniture pen with a color that is close to the stools’. They are handy in giving furniture an instant touchup so you don’t have to spend for professional services.
