This stool has truly exceeded my expectations in every way, and I am excited to share my experience with others. First and foremost, the design of this stool is simply stunning. The walnut finish adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space, seamlessly blending with various home décor styles.

The build quality of the Winsome Satori Counter Stool is exceptional. Crafted from durable solid wood, this stool is built to last.

It also works well in other areas of my home, such as the living room or bedroom, where it serves as a stylish and practical piece of furniture. The compact and space-saving design makes it ideal for smaller spaces, without compromising on functionality or style. Another aspect that I appreciate is the ease of assembly.

Within minutes, I had the stool assembled and ready to use, which was a pleasant surprise. In terms of comfort, the Winsome Satori Counter Stool does not disappoint. The saddle-shaped seat is ergonomically designed to provide optimal support and comfort, even during long periods of sitting. The height of the stool is perfect for my counter, allowing me to sit comfortably without feeling too high or too low. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Winsome Satori Counter Stool, 24", Walnut. It combines style, durability, and comfort in a way that few other stools can match.

Works great, looks great, and is very sturdy. Comfortable too (can by a little uncomfortable to sit on after a while, but I bought this to put in front of my painting easel so I do end up sitting on it for hours on end). A little challenging to build by myself but very doable.

Why are assembly instructions provided with no written steps? The illustrations are vague and misleading- after following I had to dissemble and start over. So, use common sense instead. Line up the legs so that the holes for the crossbar fittings line up. Screw the legs on but leave loose so it’s easy to fit the crossbars in to their corresponding holes. Once that’s done, tighten the legs. That’s it. Why couldn’t the instructions just say this? And the included Allen wrench is difficult to use when screwing in legs because there isn’t much turning room, and the Allen wrench must fit into the bolt exactly- I can’t count how many times I thought it was a good fit only to find it spinning like the screw was stripped. Pain in the you know what! Why can’t the manufacturer use screws and include a simple screwdriver? But, once assembled these stools look great! Real wood, not some cheap manufactured stuff, and look and feel quite sturdy. Good price too, making these stools worth the aggravation of assembly.

I'm 73 years old and have put together a great deal of RTA furniture. This is the best engineered and executed I have ever put together. Just ordered another and won't ever bother with other brands again. Thank you for quality at a great price. I'm 6' tall and this stool is perfect height for table, counter or putting boots on/off.

The following review summarizes the stools very well. It was extremely helpful with assembling. Let me start off by saying these bar stools look and feel very, VERY nice when they are finished. They are incredibly sturdy and I have no doubt they could survive an extremely long time and hold very heavy weight. As many other reviewers have noted, the assembly is a PAIN... with what they provide you in the box, that is! This is the only reason I did not rate these stools 5/5 stars. Here are some tips on what we did when assembling the stools that made them 1000x easier to put together: 1. Toss the allen wrench they provide you into the trash immediately. Don't even look at it, unless you feel like stripping the screws right off the bat. 2. Have a small ratchet, some wood glue (or normal school glue even), a microfiber cloth and a hammer handy. You will need to attach a 4mm hex bit to the ratchet for the screws they provide you (and yes, you CAN use the screws provided! They are good quality, although we are still unsure why they give you galvanized Tapcon screws intended for outdoor cement work... they're not cheap to produce!) 3. Assemble both the legs like Figure 1 in the instructions before you being to screw in the screws. Make SURE you use the correct pieces of wood in the correct holes (shorter cross piece goes in the lower hole, each side should have a long leg piece with a dot and a leg without a dot at the top) as well as the correct length screws (short, for this part). 4. When screwing in the screws, go slow and steady; do not apply too much force/torque at once or you WILL STRIP THE SCREW! Fortunately, if this happens (and you are not too close to the end) you can unscrew them out and use a replacement screw they provide you. With the ratchet, it is very easy to get the screws in quickly while not stripping them. Do the same process for the long screws for the seat. 5. When you finish assembling the body of the chair (including attaching the seat), choose a side of the stool you want to face the wall (in case you make a mistake on the first couple of cover pegs). Put a small glob of glue on the flat side of the wooden peg and put it in one of the holes on the side of the chair that will face the wall. Press it in as far as you can, then cover the peg with a microfiber cloth. Take the hammer and LIGHTLY tap it in, checking every once in a while to see how far down it's gone. If you hammer too hard or too deep, the peg will go too far in and splinter the wood surrounding it. Use the microfiber cloth to wipe up any excess glue and it won't leave residue on the chair. Hope this helps everyone! I am also attaching a picture of our stools in customer images.

Solid for the kitchen. Use em all the time. Sturdy. Good design.

My only complaint: this is the first "used" item I've bought from Amazon -- there were no instructions. If this is normal, I won't be buying anything else 'used'. Fortunately, the stool was fairly easy to assemble using common sense, but this isn't always the case, particularly regarding the best order of assembly. So, no more "used" items for me. The 4 stars for 'Easy to assemble' should perhaps be 5: it was easy, but I had a hard time tightening the seat screws, even using pliers to turn the key. However, the 'acceptable' condition was more than acceptable: like new, except for a small chip & a hardly-noticeable scratch. It's well made & very sturdy, & looks great. It's too big for where I'd planned to use it -- in my tiny kitchen, where I need to sit down frequently. (Foot-spread measurements from all manufacturers would be a good idea?) But I've found another home for it, & am very pleased with it. An excellent product.

Muy buen producto en general, pero recomiendo comprar el cojín en conjunto porque es un poco incomodo. La calidad-precio está bien y me pareció fácil de armar.

Great chairs, one flaw is feet are not even so they wobble.

Easy to assemble comfy and they look good

Definitivamente se nota la calidad, son muy cómodos y se sienten muy resistentes. Además el color está muy padre. Es una pena que estén tan caros, pero no es tan fácil conseguir productos de esta calidad que no sean de importación.
