“…easy to assemble and look great in my apartment….”

” A post-modern sleek sexy look. Not only do they look good but they are comfortable to sit in.  I’ve already gotten complements on them…”

“These stools have a sleek, contemporary style at a fraction of designer furniture prices. They are sturdy enough for people with average to above average build and they’re easy to put together. Overall a great value. I would definitely purchase them again.”

Winsom Air Lift Adjustable Stool

“For what I’ve priced for one stool, I got two of them! Plus, these are adjustable, which is a welcome bonus. They aren’t bulky at all, so they fit nicely under the edge of my counter to be completely out of the way. There is some padding, but not very much, definitely more-so than a plain old wooden stool. I think I’ll buy another pair to go downstairs at my work bench and in my shop. And here is my favorite part, you can spin around on one like a hundred times, and then try to pin the tail on the donkey, so you might want to use Velcro instead of actual pins.”

“I was very impressed with the colors and quality of this stool. It takes about 45 minutes to put each one together. The screws are 90% allen wrench (hopefully you have an electric screwdriver with an allen wrench bit…). The color is like a bronze/rust/copper. My kitchen is very earthy so they fit very nicely. We have 4 of these along our breakfast bar.”

Winsome Saddle Bar Stool in Walnut

We ordered these stools and did not know what we were getting for such a low price but we were surprised that they are such great stools. These are as good as any stools in the stores.Very well made and our 4 year old loves to sit on them while he eats at our pass through. I would buy these again.”

“I purchased only 2 of the barstools and my kids fight over who’s turn is it to sit on them. I have 3 children but only 2 stools. They are very comfortable and stylish. I will be purchasing another set.”

Monte Carlo Leather Game Room Bar Stools with Arms $148.72

Monte Carlo Barstool

“I ordered one of these stools (I need 5) to see if I would like it. It arrived today. We were very pleasantly surprised by how nice this chair is. The picture doesn’t do it justice. The wood is a rich color that compliments the leather beautifully. It is a solid piece and comfortable. Assembly was quick and (this may be a first for us) all of the hardware needed was included…no missing pieces. I just ordered four more and wish I had ordered all 5 in the first place. Even though I had to pay for shipping on this item, it was still a better price than anything else I have seen that is comparable. I have been looking for months. I highly recommend this bar stool to anyone considering this purchase.”
———————————————–
“This stool is a superb product. I agree with the earlier review which said that the photo doesn’t do it justice. The wood and leather are beautiful. This isn’t so much a bar stool as a piece of furniture. It is extremely well made. It feels heavy and substantial, and it’s very comfortable. One thing that you can’t see in the photo is that the chair back is also made of leather. It looks very much like the front. This was a pleasant surprise. Beware, this stool is fairly wide. The arms are 27″ wide at their widest. We were glad that we ordered only three rather than four. If you aren’t sure, I recommend buying fewer and ordering one more later if you need it. Before buying these, we went to a local bar stool store. We could not find any stools we liked, and certainly none in the $200-400 range. This particular stool, if it were being sold in that store, would have gone for $600 apiece or more…. EACH. And we looked at hundreds (thousands?) of stools online and couldn’t find anything to compare. This stool is simply an incredible bargain. We were able to get all three to our door for under $600 TOTAL. Just amazing. And shipping took only a week or so. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend this stool.”

Winsome Wood 30-Inch Black PVC Seat Walnut Bar Stools $99.65

Winsom Black Walnut Barstool

“I received two of these stools for Christmas and I liked them so much I bought 2 more. Good quality bar stools. They weren’t packaged very well and one has a small chip on the leg but other than that these are very good. I would definitely recommend these.”

“These barstools are beautiful. They are very attractive–however, not so sturdy. After a week the bottom of one of the legs was chipped badly. I am not sure that they are going to hold up to my three teenagers. The price was very reasonable so we will probably order two extras for replacements.”

Antique Black Backless Stool  $119.99

Antique Black Backless barstool

“Like the other reviewers I really love these and I like the fact that they’re not really “antiqued” per the description. However, I did have some difficulty assembling them. I suggest not tightening the screws entirely until both legs are on the base. I wish I could post a picture of them at my bar!”

“I ordered these barstools on a Monday and they arrived by Friday. I am am very pleased with the barstools. They look very expensive and as if they were purchased from an upscale store. The assembly was easy and only took me 20 minutes. The only drawback is that they didn’t come very distressed at all, which didn’t bother me. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.”

Sophia Swivel Barstool $59.99

“These barstools are easy to assemble. A beautiful addition to the patio cafe set I have. ”

“Ordered these bar stools after searching for something similar. wasn’t quite sure if they would be any good, since they were very reasonably priced, to my surprise they work perfectly!! and I couldn’t beat the price.”

Powell Antique Black Bar Stool $59.00

Powell Antique Black Bar Stool

“I ordered these stools because they have the rub thru that matches my other furniture. The rub thru is minimal. One leg was cracked but it was replaced promptly without question. They are pricier than solid colored stools and I recently saw them locally for about $45 each. Overall they are very good stools, well made,  solid & fit perfectly in my kitchen.”

Swivel Barstool from Visiondecor $99.99

Faux Leather Swivel Bar Stool

“The “leather” is not real but synthetic and the “brass” rivets are plastic like and attached to each other and a little cheap looking. But for the price the product is solid wood and sturdy. If you had a mind to you  could easily refinish the seat if you wanted. It would still be a good deal. The diameter is shallow and may not be comfortable for larger people. But as for me the stool takes up less space and is very comfy for the kids. All in all I like this product for the price.”

Check out Your Barstool Advice and the Practical Guide to Bar-stooling.

How to get started Bar-Stooling:

1. Instead of measuring miniskirts and high heals, measure your counter-top or bar table. Your perfect height is not determined by genetics but by the measurement from the top of the stool´s seat to the floor. For ‘counter-height’ stools, the most common measurements are between 24 to 28 inches. That means your ideal table or bar will be 35 to 37 inches high. Tall bar stools, referred to as ‘bar-height’ stools usually measure 29 to 32 inches (remember that this is from the seat to the floor) which makes your ideal bar table between 41 and 43 inches high. If you want to go for sexy, try the ‘extra-tall’ bar stools which are 33 to 36 inches and require a 44 to 47 inch table.

2. To be sure your friends are comfy around your counter or bar table, measure 26 to 30 inches from the center of each seat. Try to leave 10-13 inches between the edge of the seat and the bar, counter or table.

Voila! Now choose your barstool!
