Compact, flexible in height, comfortable, solid and very chic
These bar stools have a gas spring that allows them to be adjusted in height, from 55 to 80 cm. This means you can use them as a stool to sit at a table or as a bar stool to sit at to sit at a counter or a standing table. They are very compact with a diameter of around 40 cm and do not take up much space when not in use.
DESIGN: The design made of matt black steel and natural wood (oak) is currently very trendy and is sometimes referred to as industrial chic. The look of these bar stools is quite elegant. The seats are made of high-quality glued wood, which is bent up on the sides to improve seating ergonomics. While the underside is polished smooth, fissures have been milled into the top, which on the one hand give the wood a more rustic look and on the other hand ensure that you dont slip off the seat so easily. The clear coat is applied to the wood in a rich layer. In person, the bar stools look even better than on the product photos: Chic and high-quality. They not only go well with industrial chic furnishings, but also with many furnishing styles / also because their shape is rather reserved and not very bulky.
COMFORT: Sure, they are bar stools without a backrest, so you can sit on them with a straight back. But the seat is surprisingly comfortable due to its ergonomic shape. The edges are also nicely rounded so that nothing presses into the thighs. If you want, you can put a flat cushion on top, but thats not really necessary and will of course cover the beautiful natural wood. The footrest is quite small, but also perfectly fine and attached at the right height. The seat is slightly springy due to the gas spring, which is very comfortable when sitting down or when moving on the stool. The weight is such that the stool can be easily lifted and moved.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: The height can be infinitely adjusted with a simple lever, from stool height to counter height. This makes the bar stools suitable for people of all sizes; even 2/meter/people can still sit on them comfortably. The stools can be rotated all around (360 degrees and beyond).
STABILITY SAFETY: The stool is very stable due to the round foot, which is secured against slipping with a rubber ring. Nothing wobbles or wobbles. The gas spring from Chinese production has the manufacturer, the serial number, a test seal and the maximum load capacity of 120 kg engraved. 120 kg (+ safety reserve) should be enough and people who are even fatter will not want to sit on bar stools anyway.
ASSEMBLY: All you have to do is put three parts together and tighten four screws. An Allen key and white cloth gloves (which are not actually necessary) are supplied, as well as a spare screw per stool. The assembly instructions are illustrated and easy to understand. Actually, the assembly should be foolproof.
However, the height adjustment did not work on the first chair I assembled. With the second stool, I noticed what was wrong: a customer had not removed the protective cap from the gas spring (although this is clearly stated on the protective cap and also in the assembly instructions), so that the protective cap got stuck in the upper tube of the stool. Apparently the customer sent the product back; then it was repackaged and sent to me without removing the protective cap from the tube. Well, I noticed then and took out the cap. Then everything worked perfectly.
DURABILITY/LONG LIFE: The wooden seat is very solid and very well painted; it should last forever. The frame made of painted steel is also stable, at most the paint can get scratches if it is hit with hard and sharp objects. But that can be improved. The gas pressure spring, which is known from office chairs that are used much more frequently, should also last for many years. The rubber ring under the foot will disintegrate after a few years, especially if the stool is placed on a hard floor. However, such rubber rings can be replaced easily and inexpensively (I have already done this for other bar stools; replacement rubber rings are available here at ). I expect a long lifespan overall.
PRICE/PERFORMANCE: In view of the high quality, the price is extremely cheap.
FIT: I am enthusiastic about the look, the quality, the handling and the comfort of these bar stools. I give a full five stars and an unreserved purchase recommendation.
I hope my honest review is useful.
