AC PacificModern Industrial Metal Bar Stools with Low Back, Matte Finish and Rubber Leg Caps, Kitchen Counter Chairs Set of 2, Contemporary Countertop Accent Seat 24" Matte Midnight/Rusty Gold

We have a large counter-height kitchen table. The chairs that were originally purchased with it as part of a set had leather seat pads. 3 kids and 2 cats later, the leather was destroyed, and we chose to purchase new seats as opposed to going through the hassle of getting them re-upholstered. Plus, even if we didn't go with leather, any fabric we chose would eventually be destroyed yet again by kids and cats.I decided I wanted to go with metal bar stools, since these would withstand more punishment than fabric and wood. We also wanted ones that had backs on them, since our kids are young and squirmy and would without a doubt fall off a backless stool the first night of using them. We initially purchased 6 of these, since that's how many chairs we were replacing. But because these are smaller than our previous chairs, we found we would actually be able to comfortably fit 8 people around the table, so we bought two more.I love these chairs. Free shipping and they came fast! They were very easy to assemble, and my 3 y/o boy had a blast using the allen wrench to help put them together. Out of 8 chairs, only 1 is slightly wobbly, but nothing worth replacing. The color is as expected based on the pictures. I like that the backs are low - they come up about as high as our table top. Our previous chairs had high-backs, and they made that part of the kitchen feel more closed off. With our house, dining area included, being pretty small, the low backs open up the view around the kitchen table and make the space seem larger.The only feature I wish these chairs had was the ability to stack them. I wouldn't mark them down a star for that, since I knew they didn't stack before purchasing, but it would be a nice bonus. I run the Roomba every day while at work, and it can sometimes get under the chairs, but with the small footprint, it often gets stuck under there. I would like to be able to stack them and move them out of the way easier for the Roomba to clean under the table, but still, it's not at all a deal-breaker for these. I would buy more of these again in a second if I needed more.

We have a tight space but needed seating- perfect!

Let's go through the positives... for the price of these barstools I had low expectations, they are not going to be crate n barrel quality. I have 2 boys who destroy everything so expensive is a waste around here. I am pleasantly surprised! So the upsides...1. Super easy to assemble took me about 20 minutes to put together 4 while feeding a toddler and they are light weight!2. Look super cute in my farmhouse kitchen renovation, truly matte black3. Easy to clean up after my kids, soap and water approved!4. Tall barstools!5. Came well packagedA few down falls...1. The seats itself is pretty small. My kids fit perfect, I'm 5'1 115lbs and I fit comfortably on it, my husband who is 5'10 185lbs is okay on it for short periods but my dad who is 5"11 270lbs can barely get a thigh on it and questioned its ability to hold him up. (I never checked the weight limit)2. They make your but hurt after about 10-15 minutes so I'll end up buying some cushions to go on them.Overall I am impressed with these inexpensive barstools! I was expecting complete crap and got 4 gems that can withstand my 2 wild boys. The reviews had me weary of the quality but I went for it and am happy I did! Like I said they are not going to be the same as the expensive designer ones so if thats what you want then stop looking at $99 barstools. If you want cute and versatile and don't mind the small seat then these will do the trick!

Beautiful stools. Great height. But the seat area is a little small.

So, I rarely write reviews but I felt like someone else could benefit from this. These stools are nice. They look great, price was great, and super easy to put together. Took two minutes. I just wish I'd paid attention the the dimensions. The height is great, but the seats are very small. Once you put the backs on them, the seats are even smaller. Great for my nieces, but not comfortable for an adult. I'm going to take the backs off which will make the seat surface better. If you're a normal to larger sized person, these probably aren't what you want.

I needed a pair of stools for a training area that would both be sturdy enough for a wide selection of people and also fit neatly under the counter when not in use. These are absolutely perfect! They look great and have held up over the last several months with no issue. They were ultra simple to assemble and don’t wobble at all. Highly recommended!

I have these as outdoor stools. I expect them to last a decade or more even outside. As you might imagine, they are not too comfortable, but they do let you get off your feet. The area that looks like a backrest is better thought of as a guard to keep you from accidentally leaning back too far. It's not comfortable to lean back against. They work great for their intended purpose. If you want to get off your feet once in a while but still sit up high these work.

I’m so serious, I took the chance so you didn’t have to.These are almost to small for my 5 and 9 year old… I’m 30 and weigh 125 pounds and my skinny butt can’t even fit the chairs let alone my husband. These look like IN PERSON toddler chairs. It’s not due to the height, but the seat surface area is tiny along with the smaller backs that make these look like kids chairs and literally can not seat adults at all. The backs screw into the bottom stools… you can’t use them without the backs because there is obvious screw holes without the backs being on. Very uncomfortable. Additionally, the backs that screw in almost broke trying to force them to fit and scratched the black off because the only way to get them on is to fit them along a small tight space where they are forced by sliding on. I’m not a picky person but YIKES. The pictures make them look wonderful, even the pictures I took don’t look bad but DONT be fooled. They are way smaller in person which you can’t tell by photo. Hope that helps make your decision.

These chairs are awesome and they stand up to wear and tear

We were very happy with these stools. Matched the description perfectly. They're very sturdy. Not exactly comfortable to sit in for long periods but they're metal...so that was to be expected lol. Perfect for the kitchen island!

Very light, easy to assemble

Everything. Easy to assemble, easy to clean, sturdy, doesnt scratch easily. Love them.

I love the look of the stools and how sturdy they are but with the back on them it makes the sitting area smaller and uncomfortable. I am a smaller person so its not bad for me but anyone with a bigger butt then a womens size 28 finds this stool very uncomfortable. I am debating on taking the backs off :(
