I ordered these adjustable bar stools to go with our butcher block bar top. The stools were easy to assemble, though I had a bit of trouble at first by not removing the protective ring when attaching the chair to the base. This part could have used more clarification in the instructions. I made the mistake of leaving the first one on, which caused the cap to be lodged inside of the support tube. I had to spend 20 minutes to get the cab cap out by disassembling the chair and break the cap into small chunks. Once the assembly was completed, the chairs had a little trouble when it came to adjusting the height, but were otherwise fine. There is not much padding on the seat, so sitting for long periods of time can prove to be slightly uncomfortable. Im not sure how the padding will hold up over time, so I will update this review as needed. The design is pleasing to the eye; the backrest is a nice feature and helps support my lower back. One aspect that worries me on the longevity would be the base. It feels flimsy and tends to wobble with little motion. Overall, for the price ($169.99 as of writing), these are decent, economical bar stools I can recommend if youre on a budget. They are easy on the eyes and functional, and you get what you pay for.
Decent all around, could use improvements
