Look stylish modern but finish not up to standard at this price
Firstly Id like to point out that I was initially going to give 4 stars however after seeing the current list price, I have to admit if Id paid that much for these stools I wouldnt be feeling as chirpy about them.
I do love the overall look design - they look nice and modern in our monochrome kitchen. The adjustment is excellent allowing the height to be changed for whoever is seated and the hydraulics work very well so far, they almost give you a little push up and off when getting off. And they feel nice and sturdy, a lot sturdier than our previous.
However, like a lot of reviewers appear to have, the wood tops do have a fair few scratches yes I know, wood is never a perfect material but it does let the overall quality down as they appear a little used before youve even had a chance to sit on them. Natural blemishes from the wood I can understand but deep scratches just feels like a big of a rushed finished.
And because there isnt any padding they are a little too hard for me although that is to be expected with wood tops, perfectly fine for a breakfast bar area though where you wont be spending hours and hours.
Overall they look good feel durable with a couple of compromises on the final finish. If the wood tops came unscathed I think I wouldve been closer to 4-4.5 stars but for this price I think the finish on the product should be to match that price tag. Granted theyre not break the bank money but Ive had ￡30 stools with less issues.
