Hillsdale Montello 32-Inch Swivel Bar Stool, Old Steel Finish with Faux Brown Leather

We purchased four of these through Amazon. They look beautiful and are comfortable for a bar stool. For that it would get five stars. However, it seems like there are some quality control issues at the Chinese factory where this product is made and so it loses a star for my review. We did have to return/exchange one (a hassle as the product is large and fairly heavy) due to the finish being damaged. Not sure if it left the factory like that, or if it was damaged during the shipping process to us, as the box was pretty torn up when it arrived. One of the other stools also has some issues with the finish, but its in a less noticable spot, and was minor. For the stool that was sent back, another issue it had was that the legs werent quite even and therefore had a slight wobble. As other reviewers have mentioned, getting the plastic wrap off the seat takes longer than the assembly. But despite the quality control issues we experienced and the fact theyre made in China, these stools are so nice that we would buy these again.

The stools were easy to assemble. They are very sturdy and comfortable at out 36 in island. The metal / wood/ leather coordinates beautifully with our kitchen cabinets & decor. The only negative is so far the stools are a little stiff with swiveling but I expect this to improve with time.

The seat height was perfect for my island that sits atop standard sized floor cabinets. The cushions are not especially plush and 1 of the 3 I ordered sloped forward slightly. Other than that they seem very sturdy, swivel easily and look great.

We looked everywhere for seats higher than the 30 standard height for a higher counter. These are perfect! They are substantial without being bulky, comfortable and nicely finished. Easy to assemble too! Only drawback was removing the plastic wrap around the seat ... a pain to get it all off.

I bought a slightly damaged stool for half price and I could not find what’s wrong with , looks great next to my other stools.

Product was fine it was a gift for some one

Very good looking chair. Good quality so far with the exception of the stain on the top part which scuffs very easily.

We ordered 4 of these bar height chairs - not a cheap purchase at all - over $500 - while they are very nice they are not the same size and there is some damage as you can see in the picture. Dont know how to resolve this as there is no phone number on Amazon to contact with a problem - just return or keep...

bought multiple. none matched. solid build BUT wobbled on flat surface. unusable in my case. Could have been great, but mis-matching and wobbling unacceptable.

We had an extra high kitchen counter in our new house and needed a higher than average stool. We searched for weeks and liked the Hillsdale Montello swivel stool. After getting the shipment....we were very happy with the sturdiness and quality of the stool. Of course nothing is always perfect, and one stool was delivered damaged, but Hillsdale was totally accommadating with exchange and replacement and very professional. It was a great buying experience. Thanks Hillsdale.
