Review on Christopher Knight Home 296632 Mallik Fabric Swivel Armless Barstool, Beige: Elegant and Versatile Seating Solution for Your Bar Area by Jessica Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well built and good value for money.

Ordered 2. Arrived well packaged, no damage in transit. In fact, they turned out to be stronger than I expected. pretty solid and solid. Read a few reviews complaining about the seat being small so I was expecting that but they are actually ok and I don't find them too small at all. These are bar stools, after all, not full size dining chairs. I use them as seating in a small coffee bar in the kitchen. The instructions were clear and the parts pack well organized. Assembling, while not difficult, took longer than expected, but only because it was so tedious to tighten the screws. many hex screws. The Allen key that came with it doesn't fit in places, so you can only turn the screw 1/4 turn at a time, which can take a long time. I think 75% of the assembly time was spent tediously screwing in the hex head screws. If you have a decent hex wrench tool (I didn't have) you can use that and save time. Although the instructions don't call for it, I also added Gorilla Wood Glue to most of the screw holes and joints. Points. It's probably not necessary, but I suspect these types of hex bolts inherently loosen over time. Maybe glue would help with this and also reduce the likelihood of squeaking. If you do this, immediately wipe away any excess glue from the wood, being careful not to get any drips on the fabric parts of the seat. The rotating movement of the chair is very smooth and smooth. The position of the legrests seems perfect. Overall I find them comfortable, although the back is too straight for my liking. Although it's not a big problem. The linen material is very comfortable. again, thicker and better quality than I expected. The linen pattern doesn't look easy to clean so although I haven't done so I plan to put ScotchGuard on top to protect it from spills etc. Actual appearance and colors of the wood and fabric are pretty much the same as the image on the website, although I believe it may depend on how closely your monitor is calibrated. the stability of the chair and it can't be seen except right under the chair so no damage I guess. Generally very few and minor issues - certainly nothing critical. I would recommend them to anyone looking for reasonable quality at a reasonable price. . I searched for a long time to find the perfect bar stool for my situation and I am very happy with this choice.
