Modern Design, Sturdy Construction, Not so Comfortable
I wanted simple barstools to put in front of my custom-made (by me) kitchen island...barstools that had a bit of a design. These became available, so I decided to give them a try.
We received the item quickly, and my daughter said assembly was a breeze. She unpacked and assembled them in less than 30 minutes. The stools are adjustable height, and they have a footrest in the front, which I really appreciate. The base of the stools are a matte black, heavy duty metal, and they are very sturdy.
The seats are what I am not so crazy about. The shape is made to be ergonomic, but I feel that these barstool fall short of that. In no way are these comfortable....it feels like all the pressure goes straight to the base of your back when you sit down on these. Also, the barstool tops are made to look like a nice wood with rich grain, but, in fact, they are some kind of rubber made to look like wood. This material makes it difficult to adjust while sitting, and you stick to it.
Overview: Although the barstools are easy to assemble and sturdy, that doesnt make any difference as they are too uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time. I expected a much more comfortable set of stools, and at least real wood tops, at this price point. Pretty much, were just using them for aesthetics for the time being.
