Not very sturdy: my feedback

I've used IKEA stools like this for years and they've always lasted. My IKEA stools are 5+ years old and I've had to replace one. I bought these to use at a guided table earlier this year. The frames have bent with normal student use. Several are no longer safe to sit on. The plastic and metal have both bent. These look nice - but they did not last.

Pros
  • Love the vibrant colors! My kiddos love using these stools during small groups!!
Cons
  • The stainless steel legs can be prone to rust or corrosion, especially in humid or damp environments

Not for use by larger children- younger only!

Update: I contacted the manufacturer who responded promptly offering to replace the stools with the sturdier version. Good customer service is a plus!Original I bought this stool multi-pack for use in my 5th grade classroom with the idea that they would last at least throughout the school year if not for longer. I paid 53.42$ for 5 stools, which is a sizeable percentage of my teachers budget. It is now 6 months later and 4 out of 5 stools are broken with the 5th stool showing heavy wear. Also…

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • I use this for my middle schoolers, no where near weight capacity. They are bending

Definitely not classroom quality.

Online, these stools looked great! I liked that the stools were relatively close in price to most other stools I had found, and the colorful seats were definitely a plus! However, I wish that I would have spent a little more for a better quality product. even if that means sacrificing look for function! Trust me when I say you should read ALL of the reviews before you purchase something! A leg on one of my stools snapped off within 3 weeks of having them in my classroom. One of the things I…

Pros
  • Good enough for classroom abuse.
Cons
  • The bright and bold colors of the stools may clash with other classroom decor or distract students during class

Weak legs on the stool.

They look nice but the 1st time I used them one of my students (2nd grade) sat on it and one of the legs bent and the child fell.Separate incident…a student sat on one and leaned back a bit and 2 of the legs bent.They are not very sturdy.

Pros
  • Office Products
Cons
  • The stools may not be as durable as other seating options, leading to potential replacement costs and additional expenses

Small group stools: my feedback

Order arrived on time and was exactly as pictured. The colors are bright and vivid. The construction is sturdy and built to last. I am excited to put these in my classroom. Great value!

Pros
  • Excellent. So easy to store and stable in use.
Cons
  • The stools are not adjustable in height, meaning they may not be the most ergonomic choice for all students

ONE BENT THEN BROKE OUT OF THE BOX!

I am very disappointed in these stools. I purchased them for my classroom of 3rd graders. After just 2 weeks, we have 2 that are broken. The first stool bent the day we took it out of the box. I would not recommend these stools. We have other stools from a different company that have held up nearly two years. I will definitely NEVER purchase again!

Pros
  • Perfect size, nice and sturdy, stow away easily
Cons
  • The stools can be difficult to clean thoroughly, especially if they become stained or soiled from frequent use

Broken within days best in my review

Bought for an elementary classroom. Two stools were broken after one day of use. The legs just completely bent and on one of the stools, one leg snapped in half.

Pros
  • This product is being used in a first grade classroom donated in the memory of my daughter
Cons
  • You get what you pay for

I would like to return them

The chairs were to small for an adult and it was sold as for children and adults. I would like to return them. I have not used them. When I saw how small they were I just left them in the box they came in. How do I go about returning them?

Pros
  • These are excellent. Great quality. Even better than I hoped.
Cons
  • The stackable design of the stools can make them unstable or prone to tipping over if not properly stacked

Perfect for the Classroom

Purchased these for my daughter in law who teaches at an elementary school. Thanks for attention. She's very pleased with them.

Pros
  • They were very sturdy. The colors were very bright. They even held some adults.
Cons
  • Arrived with crooked legs. Not sturdy because of the crooked legs. They wobbled.

Taller than desk seats; not very sturdy

One of these was cracked when it arrived. The man who added a wooden piece to repair it for me said these stools are not going to last long. They are also taller than I wanted (hard to tell until you see kids in them how tall you want them). I wish I had selected the shorter ones for my middle schoolers so they weren’t towering over the other kids in the rug in our meeting area. The colors are nice, and after a couple months of use, no more have broken. Hoping for the best.

Pros
  • STURDY CLASSROOM, LAB SEATING: Commonly used for classroom and lab settings, but also useful for kitchen, office, etc. Classroom grade recommendation - kids in 1st - 6th grade. Stools are not meant to be rocked back & forth
Cons
  • The stainless steel legs of the stools may become bent or damaged if subjected to rough handling or misuse

Prefect for a classroom!

I ordered these stools for my first grade classroom and love them! Both the students and I use them daily. The fact that they stack makes them even better!

Pros
  • Most of these also have the legs to match. These did not.
Cons
  • Chair arrived cracked and broken.

They broke - my new review

Every single one of these stools broke within 4 months from moderate use from 4th graders. After the 1st colored one broke the company sent me a new set of all black ones. The black ones have not yet broken but the legs are bending. The ones from IKEA are cheaper and sturdier.

Pros
  • Much sturdier than others I have in class!
Cons
  • The stools do not have a backrest, which may cause students to slouch or adopt poor posture

Super cute but breaks easily

Super cute! Braids easily though and the bottom pieces to keep the floor from scratching tends to come off easily! The first time use, a few came off.

Pros
  • MULTI COLOR BULK SET OF 5 STOOLS: Includes a set of 5 matching stools which conveniently stack for easy storage; perfect fit for small space rooms
Cons
  • The stackable design of the stools can lead to an unstable or top-heavy arrangement if too many are stacked together

2 years strong good for me

Very sturdy and easy to clean! I have had these for two years and my students, coworkers, and I sit in them constantly. I love them so much, I’m searching for a white set.

Pros
  • Classroom Furniture
Cons
  • The stools may not provide enough support or comfort for older students or adult users

After 2 months one of the stools is wobbly

Have these in my classroom and after 2 months of use one is lopsided and wobbly. There is another one that is starting to bend. Poorly made.

Pros
  • used as stools in a class .... great
Cons
  • The stainless steel legs of the stools may damage or scratch flooring surfaces, especially if moved frequently or without care

Students love them!

My students love them! I use them for my guided reading table instead of dealing with way too many chairs in my classroom. Glad I was able to finally purchase them!

Pros
  • Once off the colorful floor stoppers have come off of one the legs of the stools☹
Cons
  • Unfortunately, one stool came with a large crack on the seat.

Bought these chairs for my grandchildren’s playroom. Perfect height for a regular table and something that they can grow with.love the rich primary colors! And they were assembled!

Pros
  • good quality!
Cons
  • The plastic material of the stools can become brittle or crack over time, especially if exposed to extreme temperatures or weather conditions
