BoraamAugusta Bar Height Swivel Stool, 29-Inch, Cappuccino with Dark Brown PU

This stool is excellent quality and is a GREAT value. I am a finicky customer who has been a product guy for most of his career, so I don't say this lightly. I am so impressed that I am writing a detailed review for those that want the details. To be precise, I would give this product 4-1/2 stars if it were possible, but I am rounding up to 5 rather than down to 4.Packaging- as others have noted, the packaging is exemplary. and explains why each piece arrived in perfect condition. It takes 15 minutes to completely unpack everything and lay it out for assembly. It's worth every minute! Others have complained that they couldn't find the hardware. My boxes arrived with a red plastic tag on the outside of the box labeled "hardware" and when you open the box you realize that tag is connected to the hardware package. Clearly, they listened to the feedback and made it painfully obvious where the hardware is.Wood and Finish- While the description calls this "cherry" finish I would describe it as a medium mahogany color. The wood itself appears to be some kind of Asian mahogany such as luan (Phillipino mahogany). The color goes very well with my medium cherry cabinets and Brazilian cherry floor.I am a woodworker and am very impressed with the finish. It is a satin finish, and examining all of the pieces of three stools, it is damn near perfect in any area that shows.Construction- all of the pieces fit together very well. Every bolt engages with a metal threaded insert. You will not be driving any wood screws. All of the bolts are Allen screws so you can crank them good and tight. The foot rest is sturdy, not a flimsy piece of wood. Just the same, I wouldn't stand on it.As I was assembling the first one, I noticed that the swivel was a bit stiff. Rest assured that once assembled and with your weight on it, the stool swivels readily. I'm going to guess that they made it a little tight so kids wouldn't spin on it Probably some do-gooder in Washington mandated that so kids couldn't have fun. ;-)Assembly- the instructions are sufficient but not elaborate. And I might add, they are only helpful if you look them over before beginning assembly. Naturally, I did not do that before assembling my first stool. The most important lesson learned from that is that it really does matter that you assemble these in the order of the steps outlined.The assembly steps are, 1) attach the four legs to the foot rest, 2) attach the "apron" (ring below the seat), (note that the instructions present the preceding two steps as one step), 3) attach back to seat, 4) attach assembled seat to swivel mount. The bolts are very clearly labeled as are the washers, and an Allen wrench is included. Here are a few notes and tips:1. All bolts are installed with flat washers. All bolts also use lock washers EXCEPT for the final four that attach the seat to the swivel.2. If you don't follow the recommended order, you will find it very awkward to get at some of the bolts.3. First assemble the legs and two rings FINGER TIGHT. A very common mistake is to snug each bolt as you install it and then complain that things don't line up. Once the legs and the rings are loosely assembled, set the unit on a flat surface (I used my granite kitchen island) and then tighten. I recommend you tighten the seat ring first, and then foot rest.4. The Allen wrench has a ball tip on one end- this is a great feature for turning the bolt head from an angle when necessary, until the final half turn of tightening.5. I put an old towel down on my counter so nothing would get scratched.6. The bolts and washers are oily when they come out of the package. I would have a rag handy to wipe them off while you assemble.7. I found it helpful to use my metric Allen wrench set (shown as it provides a great handle and also can be bent 90 degrees.8. The bottom of the seat back where it attaches to the seat is a slightly wider arc than the seat base. You might be concerned about a gap when you first line them up. Start all six bolts, and then snug up the center first before the outside bolts. As you tighten you will see it pull the center of the seat back closer to the seat bottom until it is flush. Then tighten the outside bolts.The assembled unit is very attractive and looks like it could have cost double or more. The seat cushion itself is on the firm side. I have very little padding on my back side (!) so I would have preferred a bit more padding on the seat. The seat back is VERY comfortable.Although these are proper counter height, I would have preferred if they were an inch or two taller. I measured the under-counter clearance and it is pretty much as it should be. But I'm on the shorter side, so I would have preferred sitting slightly higher. Bar height stools would have been too tall.To sum up, if you like the look of these, go for it. I am deeply impressed with the quality and the value they represent. If anything changes, I'll come back and update this review. Here are a few pictures to give you a better idea.

Bought three to replace some deteriorating stools. Well packaged. Simple assembly with reliable instructions. Good fit and finish. I like the design for details like using two bolts at each important attachment point. Finished product looks very nice and seems sturdy. We're not opening a sports bar, just need something for the grand kids to eat ice cream on, so I expect the stools will be durable. Overall, impressive for the price.

The only problem with one of the 2 chairs is the stain on one side is missing or spotty. See picture showing area of concern and the other side is good. Otherwise, the chairs are comfortable, sturdy, and look nice.

I have very high counter tops in my kitchen. When I bought bar stools 9 years ago I had no problem findinghigh bar stools. Last year my bar stools were looking shabby and so I began my search. I never thought it would take a year to find bar stools. I have had many bar stools delivered to me and most of them either looked cheap (but the price was not) or putting them together was a nightmare because nothing fit, my husband was so frustrated putting a bar stool together and then having to take it apart to send it back.These bar stools are just beautiful! The right height, easy to put together, comfortable to sit in, well made.They are perfect. If you need bar stools for a high counter top, these are the perfect ones to buy. This company makes great bar stools and their customer service is great too.

I'm not one to leave reviews but here it is. I ordered 4 stools for basement bar off Amazon, and the last box I opened had a busted seat. The wood was broken, it looks like it may have been dropped at some point. Stools were very easy to assemble and frankly they are better than I anticipated at this price point. They look good, sturdy , and a great value at that price. Completely satisfied even with 1 being broken. I called customer service, the lady couldn't have been nicer, I answered a few of her questions and they are sending me a new seat. I was on the phone maybe 5 minutes. I don't understand some of the reviews saying you need to deal with Amazon, or they wouldn't fix mistakes. Thankfully not my experience and would buy 100% again. Refreshing in this day and age to have a great customer service experience!

I purchased these to replace two old noisey rickety cheap quality IKEA bar chairs. For $85 each these chairs are a great value. They look nice and are solid and sturdy. They are a step above IKEA as the materials are decent and look like they will last. The seat is firm but comfy. The chair swivels fine. They are well packaged to avoid damage.They require assembly so you will need someone handy. The instructions are not very good but someone who is experienced at assembling furniture can figure it out fairly easy. The hardware screws and washers have lube on them so be aware when touching everything you will need to wipe clean.

These stools are sturdy, look nice, were packaged well, and went together pretty easily. There are quite a few screws to assemble them, but it was more tedious than difficult, and everything fit fine. For the cost, they are a good value. The company customer service was also good; I had one screw head that broke off during assembly. I was still able to finish the assembly, but they sent a complete replacement hardware package promptly, so I could go back and replace the bad screw.I have seen several reviews mention that the seats are small or uncomfortable if you are very large, etc. I don't know what people are expecting; a bar stool isn't meant to be for deep-seated lounging. I am 6'2" and 220 lbs, and they are comfortable. You aren't going to sit in them for hours, but that isn't what they are intended for.

Good quality product!

Love these counter stools. Bought 3. They're very sturdy, swivel nicely and look great!

Very comfortable and sturdyBlends in with my dining room perfectly

We are most pleased with these stools; they do not take up much room and are very sturdy.

These chairs were extremely high quality. It took about 15 minutes to put together from the box. Beautiful chairs, at fantastic price and the chairs arrived in a week even though they weren't expected to arrive for 2 months. Would highly recommend these chairs...
