Centiar 24" Counter Height Modern Bucket Barstool, 2 Count, Black

These are fabulous and extremely comfortable barstools. They were so easy to put together. I was pleasantly surprised and the price was great!

I have giving these 5 stars because of few things: looks, feel, and price. I paid $203 for both chairs. It was easy to put them together. Took maybe 5-10 minutes for each I suggest using a small ratcheting screwdriver with a hex as it's easier to connect the middle part of the frame. They look above their price. The frame is sturdy, and the chair pad is supportive and comfortable. Now it's not like your favorite couch comfortable, but for a bar stool it's good. I only wish there was an option to buy a single chair.

These are what I wanted! Not real expensive for the comfort. All the family likes to collect in kitchen to watch the games and our previous wood stools were/are fine but there was no back support. And that gets tough after awhile. These counter stools do not stick way out when pushed to the counter. The bar for one’s feet are just at the right height for me. No uncomfortable dangling of the legs. Very nice looking for our surroundings.

Updated 518/25 The seller has worked with me amazingly more than Amazon has. I am pretty happy with furniture, Xpress. I am a little worried about Amazon‘s feature at this moment. The chairs are nice. Just know that they dip low, where your bottom rest and will be lower than what the seat height indicates. It may cause the seat to be a little lower than you want. Original review: The chairs are actually nice I am actually just unhappy with the seller.I ordered them here instead of the Ashley furniture store because they were slightly cheaper. However, I did not realize that counter stools come in different heights. These are very short at 24 inches. I need 26 inches. Even though they are unopened, the seller is still going to charge me shipping and a stopping fee, which is quite expensive. If you are unsure if the stools would work, I would recommend going to your local Ashley store and only getting one to see if it will fit in your space.

We love how sturdy these chairs are! Easy to put together and they look sleek.

We ordered these stools to replace some that were very unstable. These arrived quickly. The directions said to have two people assemble...although I could have done it alone, it definitely helped having my spouse assist (plus a great bonding experience! LOL!) The assembly was very easily done. The stools are very comfortable and most of all very sturdy. They look great. We only had one minor issue...one of the bottom cross pieces had a small bubble in the finish. It is not real noticeable but I'm a bit concerned with feet going across it that it might start to chip. I contacted Amazon and was told I could return for replacement as they could not send just the one small piece. They did offer a partial refund which I accepted rather than having to go through the hassles of returning for such a small blemish. I wish there was some avenue for just getting the single piece replaced.

I took a chance on these. They had a modern look to them that I thought could work. I was slightly uncertain about getting an Amazon return package that had been repackaged but I went for it (saved me $70). I was also a little unsure how comfortable these would be on my back and hip (I’m trapped in an old lady’s body at 40). In the midst of a move and serious back pain, I assembled one and thought no way is this going to work. This can’t be comfortable. To my pleasant surprise they are. They’re by far more comfortable than they appear to be and I’m happy I took a chance on them. They were super easy to assemble (10 minutes or less for both) despite not having any instructions in the box. I’d recommend these to anyone looking for a stylish yet comfortable bar stool (disclaimer: I only gave 4 stars on comfort because of my own personal comfort level. They’d be a full 5 stars if they had just a tad more padding)

This is my 36+ month and final update. I just moved to a new place and I am using the stools at their lowest position now. Since replacing the strut the strut squeaks incessantly against the base, every movement in the stool is a reminder of why I bought these. Hopefully you never have to replace the strut(s). Other than that, the padding on the seating surface has almost completely collapsed and is hardly noticeable. I would avoid these stools and find something else to sit in. These look way better than they perform. Thanks to all for listening. 24-month update. I've added one more star but don't click the buy now button just yet. After the gas/hydraulic struts failed on both stools I called Ashley and they sent me out 2 new replacement struts. Still not out of the woods yet. The removal of the old struts can be a challenge but can also easily damage the base plate at the bottom. In swapping both mine out there is now play between the strut and the base plate, so when you sit in the stool it sways in all directions, making the stool feel very cheap despite the "look". I decided to update this review as people still mark it as helpful. It's quite possible Ashley has updated the strut by now or at least I hope they have. Here we are 2 years later, the stools still work as intended but now there's just that swaying that will never go away. 14-month update - Stay away, stay far away! After only 14 months neither of the two stools I purchased will keep from compressing all the way down. They are absolutely useless now. Spend more elsewhere and be happier. I'll be quick as your time is precious. These stools look great, modern and comfortable (if your hips are narrow). These stools can be as tall as "spectator height" which are hard to find and my living space requires this type of stool. I felt like this was my only option, I don't have a traditional sit-down dinning area. Would I buy again? No way. These stools have lost their ability to keep their set height. They will actually go down/lower when you are sitting in them. Whether the gas/hydraulic cylinder is bad, has worn out or the o-rings are subpar, this is not a long term stool. I thought maybe it was just one that was bad? But both I purchased are doing this. Sure I can pull the lever on the side and return the stool to its desired height but it only takes a few moments for the cylinder to begin failing again
