BIG RED Chrome Swivel Bar Stool,Counter Height | Counter Height; 360 swivel; Padded; Stable Construction & Footrest; For Kitchen,Garage, Bar, Workshop

Bought this to use at work and was very happy with it. When I switched jobs I brought it home and it looks right at home in the pool table room. Nice and sturdy and easy to assemble. I’m a big boy and the size was just right. Need another

This stool is sturdy for the price! Great product. We had an issue with the cushion not being “full” and, after a short phone conversation with the manufacturer, they sent me a new exact replacement event. I am very happy with the product AND the company selling it.

I got this from Amazon warehouse returns, it appeared new and I saved a good chunk of money. I give it a 4 start for value/quality, this is relative to the cost so keep that in mind. The one I received had a black seat, no logo printed on it. It came in an OEM box and required about 5-10 minutes of basic assembly. The parts are reasonably durable looking and the chair looks like it will hold up well. I think they could have done a better job with the fasteners, they are a bit long and could snag on your legs. I'm 5'8" and this still is a bit tall for me, I have to put my feet on the foot ring, they don't quite reach the ground. I may cut an inch or two off the legs. This is of course subjective, no flaw of the stool. It came with a warning that it contains chemicals know to CA to cause cancer, I'm a bit concerned about this, do all Chinese stools like this contain these chemicals yet most don't have the sticker, or does this chair pose a particular risk??? This is a little sketchy, could I be affected by sitting on it normally or would I have to actually put my mouth on the fart diffuser (aka: seat pad)? The seat pad is fairly thick, about 3 inches although it's pretty cheap foam, it compresses fairly easily and I'm not sure how long it is going go hold up, I do wish they had used a better quality foam in the pad. It isn't terrible and at this price point it may be suitable but could be better. The vinyl seat cover seems pretty decent. The swivel works well and the stool is over all sturdy. I got this from Amazon warehouse returns for about $35, I am very please with cost vs value, my biggest concern is the cancer warning.

Right away, as others have noted, the seat is not leather, says right on front of box "Commercial Grade Vinyl", padding is fine, it does give in, but is comfortable and rebounds after use. To the people complaining about assembly, I never even opened the instruction booklet, it was very intuitive to me how it was to go together. Here are some tips and steps I followed to make assembly as easy as possible (You will need a #3 Phillips head screwdriver and 10 mm box end or open end wrench) - 1. If you have a workbench or other elevated surface, start assembly near it 2. Remove all items from box, remove plastic covering from everything. 3. Lean the legs against your workbench or surface, put seat upside down on bench, leave swivel mechanism on bench 4. Unpack bolts, nuts and washers, sort them out in matching sets, 4 shorter bolts with washer and nuts, 4 longer bolts with washers and nuts, one countersunk head bolt with washer and nut 5. The countersunk head bolt is what you will use to assemble the 2 leg pieces together. Put the leg set with flat spot in center under the other leg set at 90 degree angle. The top leg set should have a countersunk hole, put the countersunk head bolt in the hole, put washer and nut on other end and tighten, tighten fully as you will not be able to get to the head later. 6. Now take the swivel assembly and rotate top so it resembles a 6 pointed star when looking at it from above, this will allow access to the bolts to assemble to both legs and seat 7. Set the swivel assembly on top of the legs you just assembled (don't put leg ring on yet, wait!) 8. Using the 4 shorter bolts, drop them through the slots on the swivel plate through the holes on the top of the leg assembly. After all 4 bolts are though, put the washers and nuts on other end, hand tighten 9. Now, with the leg assembly standing up, drop the foot rest ring over the legs, pay attention to line up the holes in the ring with the legs. Push it into approximate position. 10. Now lay the assembly down horizontally, position yourself at the bottom of the leg assembly, pull the ring into place to line up hole in ring with hole in leg by sight, now drop one of the longer bolts though both holes, make sure it goes through the foot rest and the leg. Do this for the remaining 3 holes in the foot rest. 11. Now stand the stool back up, put washers and nuts on all 4 bolts, now tighten the bolts fully. 12. Go back and fully tighten the bolts on the swivel assembly. 13. With seat face down on bench, remove the 4 countersunk screw bolts from seat 14. Set leg assembly on top of seat, line up holes in top part of swivel assembly with holes in seat, put one bolt in a time, hand tighten. Once all bolts are through swivel assembly, tighten fully. That is it, sounds like a lot, but it goes very quickly if you have proper #3 Phillips screw driver and 10 mm wrench. Took me no more than 20 minutes from opening box, unwrapping parts and full assembly. Hope this helps others.

Great stool for my workshop. Comfortable. Rugged. Sturdy. Inexpensive. Looks nice. As for the assembly, how hard can it be? 9 nuts and bolts. That's it. (Actually, no, it's not!) When you put the legs together be sure to tighten them all BEFORE you attach the rotating bearing plate. The rotating plate actually covers the bolt at the top. I had to go back and remove the plate to tighten that bolt. When you put the rotating bearing plate on, be sure to turn the top plate enough to where you can slip the bolts into the bottom plate. Then tighten them to the legs. This next part is NOT in the instructions. At this point, all of the hardware has been used and you're left with the seat cushion in one hand and the assembled legs and base (rotating bearing plate) in the other. But NO MORE BOLTS! You must now unscrew the four screws from the bottom of the seat cushion and slip them through the holes in the top plate and screw them back into the seat cushion. In other words, attach the rotation bearing plate to the seat cushion using the four screws already in the seat cushion. IF the instructions were clearer this thing would be a cinch to assemble. 9 nuts and bolts and 4 screws. The product itself is great. However, I did spray some WD-40 into the rotating bearing plate just to make sure. Yes, I'd definitely buy this again.

The stool itself is well made and worth the money. The assembly instructions are horrible. They leave out a crucial step for attaching the seat to the plate. You must remove the screws already in the bottom of the seat and use those to screw up through the plate to secure the seat to the stool.

To the negative reviews: The instructions were weird, but honestly if you struggle to put this together it's not the instructions' fault. Yea it's not a Lazy Boy, but you didn't pay for one did you? Super easy to put together, packaging wasn't obnoxious. Don't listen to the negative Nancy reviews.

This is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to put together. I ordered this stool for my workshop. I built the workbench it was going to be used at using my own plans. I've put together swingsets and dozens of pieces of furniture over the years and have built handmade desks for my kids, custom shelving for my storage closet, and a built-in folding table and shelving system for our laundry room. I know how to build stuff. This thing was awful. The big problem is that none of the screw holes would line up. They were slightly off on each leg and therefore required a lot of flexing to get it into place. The chrome plating was really cheap and flaked off everywhere. I had to use a magnet to pick up all the little pieces (I had originally started putting it together in my living room after it arrived in the mail). Some of the pieces were big too. Whole chunks about an inch long were popping off along with the little flakes. I wrestled with this thing for nearly two hours and it only has 9 screws! I was flabbergasted. I've never been so frustrated putting something together. For what it's worth, the metal seems sturdy and the seat itself swivels well and seems comfortable and is the perfect height for my custom-built workbench. But all I could think of the entire time I was wrestling with it was how much I hated that stool and how I was going to give it a rare 1-star review. If you look at my history, it's extremely rare for me to rate something this low. But even with the simple construction, they still couldn't get it right. There's no excuse for that. Now I have a derpy looking chair with mangled legs and chunks of missing chrome, but it gets the job done in my workshop. I still hate it every time I look at it because it brings up the PTSD from putting it together. I strained my right wrist and pulled a tendon or something in my right elbow, which has never happened to me before and felt really weird and not good. I've since tried hammering the legs out with a rubber mallet to get them looking less weird, but when I straighten things back out it wobbles horribly because of the misalignment. So I either have to live with it looking dumb, or suffer with a bad wobble. For now I'm going for function over form. I'd have drilled new holes myself, but they were just off enough that I'm not sure if I could have put in another hole without compromising the strength of it, but far enough out of alignment that it took a massive effort to get it to work. Flesh against steel. Apparently I need to learn how to weld. If this company has any decency about them, they'd send a replacement unit. But part of me really doesn't want to go through the assembly process again. I imagine it wouldn't be so bad if the parts weren't defective, but who knows what I might get.

Compre 3, es para armar. Me parece excelente es lo que buscaba y cómodo. Además gira el asiento. Lo volveré a comprar.

Das Produkt (die Metallteile) ist teilweise schlecht bearbeitet. Die Beschreibung ist eine Katastrophe. Lieferung war okay...

I bought this for a steal! Figured it'd have a rip in it or tarnished, missing screws ...something! NOTHING! it is perfect! Its super sturdy, comfortable and the right height. Very happy with this purchase.

I needed a bar stool with foot rest for my guitar practice, and having looked at the branded versions (Fender, Gibson et la) which were massively overpriced, I settled on this one. Easy assembly took about 20 mins. The rotating seat pad was a little stiff to start with, but has loosened up with use. However I was somewhat disappointed with the finish of the legs/frame. Thin walled tubing is used with what looks like a very thin chrome electroplated finish. There are marks on the footrest ring from the machine used to bend it very visible through the inconsistent chrome finish. In a moist atmosphere my guess is it would soon show signs of corrosion. Don't get me wrong, the stool is sturdy and is perfect for its intended task. Its just the finish that lets it down.

The stool is very sturdy in construction, easy to assemble, and has a clean, modern look. I have been using it for a few months now, and have not had any issues.
