Amazon Basics Kitchen Counter Barstool, Saddle-Seat Height, Solid Wood, Easily Assembled, 24-Inch Height, White, Set of 2

I bought the 2-pack of black counter-height stools. I was a bit apprehensive because some reviewers reported quality issues, but bearing Amazon's return policy in mind I took a chance. I'm glad I did. The wood seems fine, and there are no imperfections in the black paint. Both stools had the metal footrest. They're surprisingly comfortable for unpadded wood — I even spent 2–3 hours working on my laptop and that felt okay.And there's zero wobble.One caution during assembly: remember to connect everthing _loosely_. Only when you have all screws started should you start tightening them all the way. I forgot that rule and tightened each screw before starting the next, but then I couldn't get the last screw to bite into the predrilled hole. Finally I unscrewed all the others most of the way, at which point the last one went in easily and then I tightened everything up.I have hard-surface floors, so I appreciate the included felt pads. They were easy to attach and after a couple of weeks of use they show no signs of coming off.

Well built for the price. I'm 6'3" and over 300 pounds and have no concern of it holding up. If you want to make it rock solid, put a little drop of wood glue at each joint as your putting them together.

I ordered 2 sets of 2. Even though they are both the walnut finish, they are slightly different in color. Also, I noticed the lighter tone ones I had to place the wood pegs in the leg brackets where on the darker tone they were built in the construction.

Worked great for our application we needed it for. Quality of wood is good assembly wasn't hard, good purchase

These are really great stools. Sturdy and they look great.

Easy to put together. Great look, size, and sturdy.

The media could not be loaded. I would have gave these stools 5 stars but here is why I didn’t…First off, be careful when you open the small packages of assembly tools/parts. There was a staple end that was not secured (it was sticking straight out) when I went to open the bag, it stabbed me right through my finger. (That was def NOT fun) I had to wrap my finger with a paper towel for five minutes to stop the bleeding before I can start the assembly.I then proceeded to put the first box of two barstools together. Assembly was super simple. The barstools were great quality at a great price. When I opened the second box of 2, I noticed 2 of the legs had marks where the paint is totally chipped off. Another one had another scratch and on the metal part where you put your feet one of them also had like glue that leaked over or something. So that pair came “defective” but perfectly wrapped like nothing was wrong. I would have assumed there’s some sort of quality control???!Anyway, I decided to build them anyways, and literally used a sharpie marker to correct the flaws because I was not in the mood to return barstools that cost $80 for a pair.All in all, cool stools, but make sure you have bandaids and a sharpee close by.

Looks very nice and went together quite easily. I did use a few slight modifications to the instructions:1. Before using the screws, I put soap on the threads (I used bar soap, but liquid works, also). This makes them easier to screw in and less likely to break (assuming the holes are deep enough; if not, use a 3/16" bit to drill them deeper per an earlier post from someone else).2. I attached both sets of legs, one tightly, the other loosely (with about 1/4" gap before installing the rails. Then I tightened the legs a bit and screwed in the rails mostly in, but not tight yet. Last, I tightened everything.3. After inserting the plugs into the screw holes, I tapped them into place with the butt-end of a screwdriver, using folded cardboard to protect them.
