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

Pretty good quality, but not very comfortable

Four out of five because it was NOT as advertised and in the picture given, it was impossible to tell. The shipping, packaging and assembly were all fine as was the price. We got this stool to match our singleton which was the same size (28) and make as this advertised one. My research found plenty of examples at TWICE the price before looking at Amazon. In fact, the one we had already was bought from a consignment store for less than $100! My gripe was that nowhere on the description of this stool did it say leather back. The original stool has a distressed wooden back, not leather! Also the color if the faux leather seat is a little off and doesnt match the other stool. Ill try and provide side-by-side photos which will reveal these points. However, it is sturdy and will work for us. One final comment: the plastic wrapping around the seat was difficult to remove as others have noted. Other than that, a happy Amazon customer.

These bar stools were exactly what we were looking for. They look great and are very sturdy. Easy assembly with on 4 bolts to attach the seat to the frame. Seats are comfortable as well.

I love these chairs. My bar is higher and I struggled trying to find stools high enough. I bought the 31inch but they are more like 32 and 1/2 inch height. Very sturdy easy to put together. Great price.

The 32 inch stools are very high...Im 52 and I cant easily get on them. Its terrible! Large Heavy stools

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.

Initially bought the 32 stools but returned for the 28 and it looks much better. My breakfast bar is only 40 high for the photo comparisons. As a helpful tip for those who open the package questioning the plastic on and under the seat- it only takes about 1 minute to remove. All you need to do is loosen the 4 screws that require the *phillips* screwdriver. You dont have to remove them, just loosen them enough to the point you can wiggle the plastic wrap off. Dont even bother trying to loosen the hex attached screws that are already attached to the base as it wont get you anywhere ;) Then its just a matter of putting on the 4 screws using the hex tool to attach the top to the bottom. Hope you enjoy as much as we have!!

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.

I was excited to receive my order as I had a hard time finding a 32 chair height. I ordered 4 chairs and 3 of the 4 came defective. On all 3 the screws holes holding the seats on were stripped. The company distributing the Chinese made chairs emailed return labels the next day. However, they could not accommodate my request to only replace the defective part. I had to box up and send back the chairs in their entirety and reorder the replacements. Also, the price had gone up when I went to re-order.

Love the chairs. They are comfortable and affordable. Was disappointed that there was NO hardware in the box.
