Winsome Saddle Seat 24-Inch Counter Stool, Walnut
Review by Reviewer "D Aleksza" : Nice Stool / Poor Quality Control

I purchased two of these stools for seating at our counterspace in our kitchen. The stool is very nice looking and goes together in about 30 minutes or so. (This was assembly time for each stool.) It's a little more difficult than you'd think given the number of parts.

Overall I like the stool EXCEPT that with each one there were parts that were missing. Attempting to get the parts has proven challenging. With the first stool we had cut up the box before getting it all assembled. Mistake #1. Then we realized that it was missing one of the connecting leg pieces. Trying to figure out how to contact the manufacturer has resulted in a number of phone calls. The last one I finally reached someone at the manufacturer and they indicated that the only way I can get the missing pieces is to fill out a form that supposedly came with the stool. Now I'll need to go see if I can find the form - of which I don't recall seeing.

Using the two boxes we were able to get one completely assembled (parts combined of the two boxes eventually equaled one complete stool) and it looks very nice and is sturdy.

Now we face the challenge of getting our remaining pieces......

Review by Tonjula Johnson "TJ" : Great bang for your buck!

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.

Review by Libby G "Libby" : Exactly what we needed

We ordered 2 of these stools to fit under our kitchen bar. They went together relatively smoothly with the enclosed hex wrench and hardware. It took me a little over an hour to get them both assembled. Be sure to pay attention when you unpack the pieces--two of the legs are marked with red dots and must be matched up to red dots on the underside of the stool. I unpacked everything before I read the directions and was chagrined to find that only one of the legs had a red dot. I made a wild guess as to which might be the other "red dot" leg and to my relief, the stool turned out just fine, no wobbles. I was less than thrilled to see that the support pieces that connect the legs were not sanded well and that the finish was uneven. It's not obvious to most, but I know the pieces could have looked better. It diminishes some of the satisfaction I have with the product, but not enough that I'd send them back! They were very well packaged, no damage at all in shipping. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.......

Review by J. Robinson : Cute and functional

These stools are great! We bought two after doing some comparison shopping online and around our neighborhood. Found the best prices at Amazon for the very same stools other places. They were easy to put together, with all of the tools provided. The color (we ordered the walnut) is true to the picture, and blends nicely with the existing table we had to put them under. The bench is wide enough where we feel well supported and they don't wobble. I often find my feet resting on the cross bars across the bottom, and haven't had any problems with that. They're light and easy to move if you need some extra seating in another part of your home for a gathering.

Review by jb : saddle seat stool

The stools are the perfect height for eating at our bar. Heavier than I expected, but that is a good thing.

I had to return 1 stool and request a replacement. The one stool I returned did not match the other two. The legs were splayed differently and the rungs (legs)were set in different sides. The return was very simple and the return shipment arrived quickly.

Customer service was helpful and most accommodating! My first order from amazon has been pleasant.

Review by J. Naftolin : Great stools

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.

Review by C. Alaimo "ChasMan" : Great and sturdy

This stool is great! It is wide and sturdy and just the right height.
I weigh over 300 lbs and this stool does not budge!
Takes a little time to put together but well worth it.
Nice color. It is of very good quality.
You will not be disappointed.
