Review on πŸͺ‘ Linon Home Decor Stacking Stool, Natural - 17.13'' x 17.13'' x 17.72''- Improve your SEO! by Katie Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

(2nd update - 6 years old) Wonderfully cheap, the patina is nice, an exact copy, improved!

2nd update - 4th purchase mainly due to wear and tear on the previous sets. Also, a few screws wear out the wood that the seat and leg are attached to and can't be screwed back in place. The new stools have 4 very poorly constructed ill fitting wedges between the legs under the seat which were accidentally added after the original construction was completed, probably for stability but by choosing a different quality resulted in a very ugly look. made of wood and cut. Also, black button head screws have replaced the previous flat chrome hex head screws. Similar packaging, complete with stools. Flat plastic sleeve, no bubble wrap. The stools no longer look like Alvar Aalto's stools. I choose to return. I downgraded my rating from 5 to 3 stars. May 30, 2021 1st update. I first bought these natural birch stools 3 years ago. They continue to patinate beautifully. However, I recently bought a third order! Incredibly, the new version of the stool is unusual, as is the improved excellent packaging (thick, heavy cardboard, foam between pre-assembled stools, all wrapped in bubble wrap). Unlike previous acquisitions, Aalto's design replica is exactly the same size as vintage stools from around 50 years ago, with the seat as wide as the legs. The curvature of the legs is the same as that of Alvar Aalto's vintage stools. The hardware is a bit different, but actually much better. For those who may find this to be a problem, they should not be looked at unless they are turned upside down and examined. I have increased my original 4 star rating to 5 stars. If you found this review helpful, please vote below. Thanks very much! This is my second order for this product. They patinate very nicely in about a year. My only complaint is that after a few months they loosen up. Luckily, adjusting the screws underneath can be done quickly and easily.
