Comfortable by Wifes Standards! Supports my 270 lbs! Swivels Easy! Stable!
These MODERN LOOKING stools are strong and support my 270 pounds with ease. I sat atop them and used the release lever to test them - they responded perfectly! I then tried wobbling on them and they resisted quite effectively, staying upright and keeping me safe.
The stretchy vinyl covering on the seat area offers the opportunity to easily custom-cover them as well: You could buy some stretchy vinyl and replace the present covering with a matched color to whatever you choose. I may choose to do so in a few months after giving myself a chance to evaluate these. I absolutely love the fact that I can easily do so (the top plate you sit on looks like it can be removed via a few screws on the underside and then re-covered). Perhaps they could even even be upholstered in another way too (if so desired). Presently, I do not anticipate the need as they look good, but I may since my kitchen is a little more contemporary. Finding stools that are the proper height for everyone is a great accomplishment, and these fit the bill!
The only characteristic that I would prefer that they did not have was the flat black finish on the stand which shows dirt more readily. These will force me to clean a little more often (not a problem). I may paint them a different color in the future. I really do love that these could be customized with great ease if so desired (but still look great without the customization).
Overall, these are SURPRISINGLY STRONG AND WELL-CONSTRUCTED.
