We ordered these barstools for our kitchen island, but our 4 year old decided that theyd work better in the dining room. In terms of build-quality, the chairs are sturdy and strong. I like that they swivel, which our wooden stools dont do. The bottom of the legs have a plastic cap to reduce scuffing of floors.
Assembly was somewhat cumbersome, but I learned a few tricks while doing the first one that can help future customers. There are at least 16 screws for each stool.
Backrest to seat: 4
Foot rest to legs: 4
Swivel to legs: 4
Swivel to underside of chair: 4
Optional: 4 leg extensions 4 screws
It was a bit difficult to line up all the screws on the foot rest, but I found that if I bolted in 1 of the leg pieces first, it was easy to bolt the other leg piece on. For attaching the seat to the legs, I turned the chair upside down and put the seat on my lap. Then I could easily line up the holes on the swivel base with the holes on the bottom of the chair.
My biggest complaint is how much packaging waste I had to throw out once the 3 stools were assembled.
The chairs are also a tiny bit wobbly due to the legs being just a tad off.
Good stools. Lots of non-recyclable packaging
