Just got these last night and have had a chance to get to know them. I will follow up later, if needed, after more use.
Pros:
-Simple to put together
-Nice, modern design
-Back support almost as good as if it had a full back
-Light weight. Easy to slide back and forth towards the bar/counter
-Non scratch base inserts. Seems effective to avoid scratching your floor surface
-Just enough cushion, no sitting discomfort
-Carefully packed to lessen dents and scratches
-Clean construction. No blemishes, burrs, scratches or misalignments
Cons:
-Some play in the support column. Not a solid feel. You can rock a little all around. It concerns me that, long term, stress points may fracture. With only 4 screws holding the seat to the column, youve got to wonder
-Light weight. Too light to give the impression they are high quality items
-No resistance to seat swivel. The seat moves around with the slightest force. Creates the need for micromovements to reposition seat to where you want it. A bit annoying. Even a low level of resistance would help in keeping the seat stay in position better
Luckily, there are more pros than cons at this point. Keeping it in perspective, these are a good value for good looking, nicely designed and, hopefully, well (enough) constructed bar stools that they are well worth considering. However, if a top of the line, high quality look and feel is what you are going for, these look it, but dont feel it.
Got the look
