HERA'S PALACE Bar Stool Counter Height Modern Barstools Bar Height Without Back, 24" Leather Bar Chairs Industrial with Footrest for Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Bar, Indoor, Black

Very comfortable, sturdy and matches our kitchen perfectly. Only issue, like others, is that not all the holes are aligned perfectly and one of the seat screws had to be cranked pretty hard to get it flush like the others. Not a big deal, but a little annoying. Metal is good gauge and screws at the bottom actually use 2 points to keep it rigid which was nice to see.

Sturdy and very easy to assemble.

I was intimidated by how many pieces this stool has, but actually it was quite easy to assemble. It came with everything needed to put it together, and assembly took me around 30 minutes. The part that took the longest was securing the seat cushion to the rest of the stool. There are about 6 screws that go into the bottom of the seat cushion, and it's difficult to get the stool in the correct place so that all the screws will go in through the metal loops in the frame and into the bottom of the seat. I recommend treating it like changing a tire on your car. Once you get the screws in the holes through the metal loops in the frame, tighten them each into the seat a little bit at a time in turn, that way you can make little adjustments to the stool's position relative to the seat as you go. Don't tighten one all the way, then move on to the next one. You might get stuck with the stool frame in the wrong position to get all the screws in. So at least in my experience, tightening them a little bit at a time will yeild the easiest results.This stool is bar height, which is perfect for my kitchen. It's easy to get into the seat without feeling like I'm going to tip it over, and the cushion is firm yet comfortable. The foot rest bar is also in a comfortable position for me, and I'm 5'6. When I sit on the stool, I feel that it's very stable and feels high quality. I'm super pleased with this seat, and I would be comfortable with guests sitting in it, knowing that it won't fall apart or fall over while they're using it. This was definitely a great choice for my kitchen, and I think it would make a great addition to any kitchen with a bar countertop.

This was easy to assemble. It's a fairly simple design and big. It takes up a lot of space. In person, I don't find it as appealing as other bar stools. The upholstery is well done and a decent material. The design seems like it's missing something. Then I try to get onto the chair, and I realize that maybe what I feel like is missing is some way of climbing onto it. This is a difficult stool to get onto! I'm short enough and old enough that high bar stools can be a challenge, but this is in a class by itself. I think it's because there is just one foot rest bar, square corners, and no backrest or armrests to hold onto. Other stools I have used have some of these elements. Finally, I managed by using the counter and wiggling myself on to it. The stool shakes a little bit, but it is stable. The cushion is thick and will probably be durable, but I found it uncomfortable after a bit. It was hard or just not shaped well for my sitting. The foot rest bar was positioned a little higher than I would have put it. I think a lot of the problems I encountered with this stool was that it's probably more suitable to a certain height, age, agility, and sense of style than I have. For me, this was not a great stool, but probably visitors or family will use it more often.

I use this HERA'S PALACE Bar Stool Counter Height Modern Barstools Bar Height Without Back, 24" Leather Bar Chairs Industrial with Footrest in the kitchen for when I am cooking. Unfortunately, I have a bad back and cannot stand for a long time. I am 6.1 and this stool is the perfect height for me. I can easily move it from the kitchen island to the stove and even though I move it around a lot, it still feels as sturdy now, after 9 months of use, and when I first put it together. I waited to review this stool because, in my experience, bar stools start becoming wobbly after a certain time. My screws out of my previous stool would just start falling out, which led to some nasty falls. This Hera’s palace bar stool has not given us any of these kinds of issues, so I am very pleased with this product. If you’re looking for something sturdy that is easy to clean, this stool is it!

This was easy to put together and looks fantastic. The seat cushion is pretty squishy so I hope it holds up. Prior to this, the incorrect height stool was in use. It is such an amazing difference when the right size stool is there instead. It sounds silly to say I never paid attention to the fact that bar stool height is different from counter height stools (which is also different from dining height). With counter height stools in place, you can actually sit like a normal human being at the counter (vs being all hunched over with no leg space). As much as I wish it had a back, I needed something that was visually low profile and this fit the bill.

Okay first things first, when i took the pieces out of the box the 2 big leg parts had little black pieces on them that was completely pointless. A waste of material. They started out on the pieces and I found myself, for 5 minutes or so, studying the instructions trying to see where these pieces played into the design and how I was supposed to attach everything with them on. Turned out, they were nowhere on the manual and you just have to assume you take them off before you put the product together. Then, the pieces are just there and I guess you throw them away. At least that's what i did. They're in my pictures btw.Once I got past that nonsense I put the chair together and I have to say, the cushion is hard and uncomfortable and it a weird texture. The chair cushion looks dirty by design. I even wiped it down to no avail. I do not like. But I gave it 3 stars because it IS a chair afterall. Like, the basic function is that you sit on it and it allows you to do that.

This is a substantial bar stool thanks to the metal framework. It’s easy to assemble and the seat is nicely cushioned and comfortable. It’s heavy enough that I don’t have to worry about it turning over. I especially like the footrest bar.
