It is very comfortable and looks great! I bought 2 of these and I really do like them. The quality is somewhat questionable. I stripped one of the screw nut inside the wood from tightening the bolt too hard, but it seems to still work just fine. One of the chairs didn't have the holes drilled in the seat at the bottom to insert the bolt. I had to drill the holes myself. The Allen wrench that came with this stripped out before the chair was assembled. I had to use my own to finish assembling it. There are 2 red dots on the bottom of the seat that line up with the legs of the chair according to the manual. They were actually marked on the wrong ends. There was absolutely no way to get them to line up on the correct sides. It didn't even matter since the seat is the same on both sides. After all of this, I would probably still buy them again and maybe 2 more because they are so inexpensive. Maybe next time I will use some wood glue before screwing everything together.

Good value for the price. Sturdy. Would recommend gluing the wooden screw covers as a few of them fell out but not really a big deal all things considered. Mike P

I got this stool to sit at my drafting table, and so far have not had any issues with it. The directions were not great - basically I just tossed them aside after just reading the part about matching the dots up. It took me about 20 minutes to put it together - there was an extra screw and cover included which was nice (although it did have me wondering if I'd missed one somewhere). Mine doesn't wobble at all, and seems plenty sturdy for me, but I'm also no where near the weight limit it has listed on it. I only wished I could have gotten the natural wood one instead of the walnut (which is pretty dark) but the $8 price difference and the fact that I only needed one made me just pick the walnut.

Works just fine. Daughter put together in about 20 minutes and I was all set up in my Kitchen. Just had back surgery so this helps when back hurts, I can just set down. I would recommend this stool.

We got these to use in our business as high tables (for design, prep, etc) and they arrived exactly as described. They're definitely not the highest quality table around (I wouldn't put this in my home) and all of the tables we ordered came scratched or dented. But for an office or workspace they're great.

Purchased 3 of these for daily use at our breakfast bar. Easy to assemble, attractive design, and the price was right. Our 2 young children are comfortable on them with no falls yet (knock on wood) unlike swivel stools, even those with backs. Saddle style seat is very comfortable and our larger (200+ lb) friends find them comfortable as well.Unfortunately the finish on the leg supports is already rubbing off (see those 4 bars running perpendicular to the legs) where our feet rest. We don't wear shoes in the house so it's not like they receive a lot of friction.Also the stools are becoming wobbly. It's a matter of prying out all the little screw caps and re-tightening each joint, probably 20 min of effort, but it's already been done once and we've owned them less than a year. Since they're not swivel or height-adjustable like our former bar stools, I guess I expected them to remain sturdy over time.Overall, 4 stars as they are a nice design and fit our remodel budget. If you're looking for something that will last a lifetime, either try some wood glue to reinforce the joints, or expect to spend a lot more on higher quality stools.

At the price paid, couldn't ask for anything more. Very study. My only complaint is that they took a while to put together.

Easy to put together, decent hardware. The only issue I had is that a couple of the wooden plugs to cover the screw heads are too small and fall out from time to time. A dab of wood glue put that to rest.

These are stronger than expected. I'm 6'+ 230lbs+....and I can hold my 2 toddlers on my legs as we sit on the stools. They total 60lbs together. That's apprx 300lbs +/- This is good info given the sticker on the bottom of the stools states it has a max weight limit of 220lbs. I gave 4 stars. I'm not going to get overly excited about some bar stools. Good quality, good design,nice true stain color. The assembly: I bought different screws and used wood glue in the holes. (The stools come with allen head screws.) Overall easy to put together and pretty darn strong. Very happy. [We've owned these since Dec14 '13.] No loose screws. no creaking sounds. Hope this helps.

Overall very nice color and quality. Easy to assemble but some pieces fit awkwardly. Nice stool for the price and I will purchase the two more that I need.

I really like this stool but had to wait 2 months to get the missing hardware. The wood plugs that cover the screws don't fit perfectly.

Bought one for a relative...liked it so much we ordered 2 more for our home! Easy to put together, with all tools included

These chairs look really nice in my apartment but not too comfortable when you sit in them for a really long time.

I needed a stool to sit on while doing kitchen prep work.(bad back)....this stool does the trick and looks good as well.Just could be a bit sturdier and the hole caps keep falling out...even tried super glue!

These look really nice. They weren't hard to put together. I did use some wood glue on it to give it extra support. I bought these because they match our kitchen table and chairs. The height is perfect. We haven't used them yet so not sure how well they will hold up.

it is a very nice stool. It is mky fault I didn't know it needed assembly but it was not difficult once I found the red dots.

This is a good chair and looks really nice. It was just a bit complicated putting it together. Which was a surprise to me because it only had a few pieces.

I received 3 stools as ordered fairly quickly. They went together very quickly and easily using my own Allen wrench. One stool arrived with a small scratch.

Got 2 of these for under the counter in my kitchen. They match my cabinets nicely and seem pretty sturdy.ProsI'm 6" and around 280, these stools feel solid under me and I don't forsee any problems with them.ConsThe screws they use are hex head but I had 2 of them strip on me pretty easilyThey do include spares and the other 14 screws were fine. It's just something to keep in mind when putting them together.All in all I'm happy with them, but will update if anything changes.

So yeah as the title says natural in this case doesn't mean unfinished, make sure that the color is near the color of decor that you plan to include them with. This wasn't an issue for me however it could be an issue for others.Be careful when putting the stools together as the screws can easily be stripped leaving you to drive them the rest of the way in with a set of pliers or channel locks. I highly suggest a drill with a allen bit installed as there are a number of screws and if you're putting together 4 as I did would take you a number of hours and perhaps cramped hands to assemble without some sort of powered method. Again though if you use a drill to assist make sure that you have a very positive connection with the head of the screws, I used a small extension on my drill to ensure that assembly didn't strip out to many screws.
