Okay, so its early in my ownership of these bad boys but I have to say, they are the greatest Godsend that could have been buried on page 6 of .
I have been looking for bar stools for months and have been so frustrated that my house was so close to being complete minus the stools. Then I found these. Not only did I assemble each stool (4) in 5 minutes, but they are insanely high quality for the price. Obviously its early so things may change with wear and tear but for the price, Im beyond thrilled. I ate a full rack of ribs tonight while sitting on them and I was just the happiest clam. Ive included photo evidence in case you dont believe me.
July 17, 2019 Update: Wow these chairs are still absolutely slaying the seat game in my house. No signs of wear and tear and Ive only fell backwards on it one time. I have to admit that it was my fault as Im prone to rocking in whatever Im sitting in. I like to move my legs a lot which is probably part of the reason why Im able to eat so much barbecue and not gain substantial weight. Ive been fit my entire life and really dont work out too much these days. I do, unfortunately, now have high cholesterol which is something Im thinking about working on. Chairs are still great.
May 10, 2020 Update: Wow, things have changed. I miss July of 2019. I miss how carefree life was back then. I miss being able to say goodbye to my barstools in the morning and greet them again at night. Being quarantined has been tough BUT I cant imagine it without these stools. I have taken at least 40 Zoom meetings in these stools and have podcasted 4 times from them. Still no wear and tear and Im very grateful to have a platform like these stools to be productive on. I do miss freedom though. I missing not thinking about germs when greeting people. Geesh.
December 12, 2021 Update: unfortunately this will be my final update. I bought a house with my wife! Oh yeah, I got married too! The condo is pretty nice although it feels more like an apartment. No yard and no driveway which is a bummer, but Im happy to be under a roof with walls. Greg, the other pictured rib eater, and I are still best friends and now we work together! Its been going so well! Heres where the story takes a turn. We dont have a bar anymore. I tried to make it work for a few months. The stools were moved multiple times, each time, my heart sank a little more. My wife knew how much I loved them so she really let me try to figure it out. I couldnt. It was time to part ways. They were still immaculate. I was heartbroken to see them go but I found the BEST home for them. A family with two young kids adopted the stools and took them home one rainy winter night. Im not ashamed to say that I stood in the rain as they drove away, thinking I was Hillary Duff in some 2001 era movie about losing love. I do think about them pretty often, but I think letting go of things you love is healthy. Thats what Im telling myself at least. As I write this, my new puppy is sleeping on my lap and my wife is watching Bobs Burgers as she decorates the house for Christmas. The stools presence is still felt and I think theyll be with me always. Life isnt too bad. Things come and things go, but the memories of eating ribs, podcasting, taking zoom calls, and spinning for hours will never leave. I love you all and I hope this review helped you decide to add these stools to your home. Goodbye probably forever… or at least until I buy a house with a bar. Sit in peace and never forget to spin with the ones you love while you can.
March 11, 2022: ah shoot. Lost the dog
These are literally perfect for the price.
