Review on Set Of 2 Industrial Farmhouse Bar Stools With Swivel - Height Adjustable 24.4-27.5Inch - Kitchen Island And Dining Stool - Great For Extra Seating With BOKKOLIK Design by Sue Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reminds me of stools I grew up on

I love this stool. Purchased for doing wood-work at benches of various heights. When I am not using it in the garage, it sits in the kitchen behind the bar or by the couch as a make-shift side table. Some reviewers have talked about a slight wobble. When the chair is 100% lowered to its lowest position, there is 0% wobble. I mean this thing is rock solid stable. Now, let's talk about when it is not 100% lowered. If the lever is not locked tightly, then the amount of wobble is equal to the play in the threads -- about 1/32". I fully understand that to eliminate that very slight wobble you would have to redesign the chair and then it would not be the same chair. I will re-iterate though that when the lever is locked at any height, there is no wobble. The wobble comes into play when you are sitting on it and you forget that this really is not designed to be a swivel chair when you are sitting on it, and you rotate it, thereby loosening the locking lever. None of this bothers me, because again, if they changed the design to eliminate that rustic feature, it would be a more modern chair.I love these rustic chairs for all their beauty, mechanism, style, and yes, even 1/32" wobble when you (purposefully?) loosen the lever slightly. As a child, I remember sitting on chairs like these and rotating just enough to allow it to wobble, I would then grab the pedestal with both hands and rock left and right without lifting the legs off the floor. It satisfied my, then (though I doubt I ever grew out of this) need to rock but was always scolded if the legs came off the floor. So as many reviewers have said, there is a slight wobble. I've tried my best to explain it, why it happens, how you can avoid it, and even added some charm to it. Hopefully it does not dissuade you from being interested in these chairs. I am certainly looking at buying more. I just can't decide if I want the same height or the taller one.Last but not least, the seat is wide. I love that most about it. Oh, and the foot ring is absolutely wonderful. I use the foot ring all the time.

Pros
  • It is too easy to swivel the stool and losten it, so the height changes.
Cons
  • The stools may not be comfortable for long meals or sitting sessions
