Review on ๐Ÿช‘ Black Metal Barstool with Crown Back and Swivel Seat in Black Vinyl by Flash Furniture by Brian Smith

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Difficult to assemble. Do not buy.

I bought two of these stools because I thought some of the reviews exaggerated the difficulty of assembling them. no Impossible to assemble alone and impossible to assemble without significant force. All the necessary parts were there and the instructions were clear. Putting the legs together was pretty easy (comparatively), but I still had to try 3-5 different maneuvers to get them on properly. After that it was a nightmare. The buttocks just didn't fit right. It was not possible to place them in the assigned holes and then connect them to the next holes to enter them. I worked on it for about an hour before my fiancรฉ intervened. He was sure he would make it. Yes No. We both had to bend and put the pieces in place to fit the holes. We weren't able to screw all of the intended locations as the rods were obviously not inserted correctly. We took it apart and put it back together in many different configurations, but nothing was easy. I think the two I ordered were either manufactured incorrectly or (and this seems more likely based on other reviews) part of a larger design flaw. I don't think the fins come out without screws, but I don't feel entirely sure either. The only reason we're not removing them is because we literally can't remove some of the bars right now and the thought of putting more effort into those damn things scares me. Also, we scratched parts of both stools trying to put them back together. Fail.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
