2 X BLACK BREAKFAST BAR STOOLS FAUX LEATHER BARSTOOLS KITCHEN STOOL NEW CHAIRS

There's no way you'd mistake the cover for leather and I can't say yet how durable the faux-leather will be. It's very soft and may not stand up well to things like buckles and zips (I'm not about to test it!) but the stools are certainly easy to assemble (four bolts using the supplied Allen key) and very comfortable. At the price, I'd have no hesitation in recommending them. The trader I used, great-deal-forever, got them to me next working day.ONE TIP: The gas struts come with little black caps, presumably to stop the struts being activated in transit. The instructions don't tell you to remove them but I'm pretty sure you should do!UPDATE 8Feb15: It may be helpful to know that, 13 months on, we're still happy with these. I was right in thinking the faux-leather wouldn't withstand scratches very well, so they're not ideal if you have animals that might scratch them, but we've been careful with ours and they're fine, with just one little scuff. They're £2 cheaper than when we bought them, and I'm about to order two more.

I have never written a review on Amazon before, but as I used the reviews to decide which stools to purchase I felt it was important.The stools are fab for the money, they are comfy, arrived on time and were well packed. The only downside is I thought the backs were higher from the picture, whereas in-fact they reach the small of my back, so there is no support (one of the few things I did want in a stool) however that was more due to the lack of my knowledge of stools rather than a fault with the design. The stools are excellent value for the money, if you want an expensive stool then purchase expensive stools, but these are superb as everyday stools. I'm very happy with them and would certainly recommend them if you are after a comfy, good looking addition to your kitchen.

I bought these to replace two of my previous stools. They look the same and are definitely value for money, however when they arrived I could see straight away that they were smaller, and unless you are quite slim you may find them a tight fit. Also whatever weight you are you seem unsteady on them as though your about to slip to the floor owing to the shortness in depth from back to front. I looked around before ordering only to find that similar stools were of almost identical measurements. Perhaps all the manufacturers have reduced their sizes as I remember complaints from people who didn't have enough space in their kitchen to put the larger chairs.

Have waited a few weeks before giving feedback just to see how the chairs behaved so to speak. At first we were sceptical as to the quality as the 2 chairs were considerable cheaper than 1 chair elsewhere and we had just finished a decorating a new kitchen. They arrived promptly and were easy to put together, only 4 parts. They do swivel by the way. I have to say they look great and are easy to clean. Good quality very comfortable I anticipate they will last for a long time. Definitely a good buy for us hope its the same for all.

Bought these in Oct 2013 and they have now fallen apart with what I would call very average use by very average sized people. Backs on 3 of of the 6 have now broken and unusable. In addition the small hydraulic unit that let's you move the seats up and down has also given up on 2 of the units so when you sit on them you gradually sink down.I have noticed that the bottom of the units that contains the hydraulic unit is common on many brands of similar designed chairs on Amazon so beware!!!!!I am now looking for 6 more chairs but with fixed structures to avoid such problems with the hydraulics.ALL IN ALL I WOULD NOT BUY

Very happyThe stools turned up seperatly packaged well. They are great quality for the price I paid. I saw the exact same ones in a large chain shop which cost the same for just one.One of the stools was faulty and the hydrolics didn't seem to work (it sunk a little to much when you sat on it). The customer service we received was great they tried to help us solve the problem ourselves, when it was apparent we could not fix it they said they would replace the base. We received it within days. Problem solved.

These stools are not as substantial/as good quality as the (almost identical) ones that they replace. Within a couple of months, some black plastic inserts in the gas lift mechanism started to drop out and started to leak lots of grey dust. After 12 Months of use, I am now looking to replace but I won't be buying another set of these.

Brilliant product, love the look and feel. It is easy to assemble, it took me about 20min to put together 4 of them. They look great in our new kitchen and For the price and product quality I can't fault it.
