Review on ๐Ÿช‘ Ximen Fir Wood Barstool with Backrest by Christopher Knight Home - Naturally Antique Finish by Mari Hall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

We like them but the wood needs polishing

I love these bar stools, the ease of assembly and quality parts. Looks like they will last for years. A slightly heavier metal industrial look is good. However, wood is a problem for these chairs. It is fir that is simple and tidy. But it's very rough and most notably the seats have uneven fibers that you can snag on clothing like lycra, spandex etc. If you're wearing short shorts, you might get a little abrasion as you move across the seats. So I'm about to sand them smooth and I'm going to color them a little darker than the color they came in. If it wasn't a problem I would give 5 stars. I'm willing to do that extra work and spend some extra money to finish it because then we have a great set of stools. Just note that the wood quality and finishes are not that good.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • The list will go on.
