Richardson Seating Double Rung Backless Swivel Bar Stool with Chrome Frame and Seat, Green, 30"

I purchased 26 of the Budget Bar Stools 0-1952BLK for a commercial bar.. I initially ordered 1 to check the quality & after assembling and giving it a good stress test, I ordered and received an additional 25 units. The stools are very sturdy have that classic bar stool look that I was looking for. The stools are packaged well, only 1 of the boxes had some crush damage but resulted to no damage to any of the stool components. All holes were drilled properly and the proper amount of fasteners were included for each stool. The fasteners are all high quality & the nuts are self locking and need no loctite to keep them tight. I assembled the first few according to the instructions but changed the sequence slightly to make things easier... Make sure you have a #3 bit phillips head screw driver to fit the screws properly or it will be more difficult.. One of the reviewers remarked on the sharp edges on the swivels.. They are indeed very sharp from the shearing process. I removed the sharp edges with a small file on each swivel as the first step in the assembly, it takes about a minute or two but am glad I did it..You can feel the sharp edge while sitting on the seat if you try.. Other than that the swivels are of very good made in America quality..Some other manufacturers charge $10-12 extra for quality USA made swivels, with these you get the good swivel as standard. After that I followed the instructions except that I put the top ring on first & then the bottom ring. The top ring can be difficult to get into place if you put it on after the bottom.. One thing that is lacking in the instructions is a proper leveling procedure..Almost all of mine needed some leveling but is no problem once you know the procedure. Once everything is tightened down & before you put the glides on you should check for levelness. Put the stool on a very level floor on a table top with a newspaper spread on it to prevent scratching the table. Check to see if the stool sits level.. If not, determine the 2 shortest legs..Working diagonally. grasp the the far leg with both hands with the near leg against your shoulder , give the legs a controlled bear hug..You will feel the legs bend slightly.. Don't go much, just a little will take out the biggest wobble.. Once happy with the levelness, install the glides making sure they are all the way on . Recheck levelness, if its is not level now one or more of the glides aren't on all the way.. I would recommend checking the screws for tightness once after some use, maybe after a month or two in a home or a week two in a commercial setting. I am removing one star due to the sharp edges & the poor leveling instructions.. I pretty sure the manufacturer knows the procedure for leveling but was worried about the consumer over bending the legs, so if you do it, do it carefully.. Bubba

I bought this stool for playing my bass. At 79, I’m just not able to stand as I used to do, and this stool seems to work perfectly. I found it easy to assemble once I learned the trick. Put the lower ring on first but do not tighten the bolts. Just put the nut on the bolt to hold everything in alignment while you install the top ring. If you tighten the lower ring bolts first, you will likely need to go back and loosen them to be able to get the top ring properly installed. Guess how I learned that.

These simply built barstools are easily assembled if you slow down and read the actual instructions. Yes, lots of different screws. No, not that many. Sturdy, strong, and safe. They hold 300 pounds easily because some of my friends are 300+. Takes about 10 minutes to assemble one. Complaints probably come from people that refuse to read instructions or are operating a left handed screw driver with the right handed Phillips Screws. Will buy at least two more.

Bought a few of these for my arcade machines. Perfect arcade stool sitting right at 30" in height. One was wobbly but I sent it back and recieved one that wasn't. Overall, very sturdy and decently comfortable.

Very nice bar stool. Maybe 20 min to put together. I do appreciate that this stool came from Chicago Illinois. Stool came well packaged with easy to understand instruction, especially for a guy in his sixties. The only "ding" I give the product which does not really deter from the 5-star rating was the thin cardboard on the bottom of the seat. I would have preferred a thin piece of plastic instead. I sprayed it with spray "Plasti Dip" tool coating. I also applied "Loctite" super glue to the screw threads for a solid seat attachment. I know, this extra on my part is probably overkill, but that's just me and makes me happy with my purchase. I am using it as an upgrade to a stool I had at a workbench in the basement and the stool looks to give me years of use.

I bought this bar stool so I could sit at the sink to do my food prep. This stool is perfect! It's just the right height and the lower metal bar is very comfortable to rest my feet on. The seat rotates so I can turn to reach things on the countertop without getting down. Very sturdy. Seat is comfortable. Highly recommend.

I love this stool for what I needed it for. Is it the ultimate stool ever? No. But for what I needed it for, it is great and at a decent price, it is a keeper.Assembly was straight forward. However, realize you may need a rubber mallet to get the top ring around the legs. I tried everything I could to slide the (top) ring by hand, but no way could I without the rubber mallet. The bottom ring I didn't have issues sliding onto the legs. I had no issues with bad or missing hardware as others have commented on.Yes the cushion isn't cushy soft, as in like sitting on a couch. But for me, once you get use to it, its fine. If your use to sitting on cushy stuff everywhere and when you sit, then it will be something for you to get use to. I use my stool in the garage. Great for sitting at the work bench, etc. If you planning on sitting on this stool for hours on end, you may want to pay a lot more for a different stool.The build quality of the stool is fantastic. It is solid and sturdy. Perfect height too. If I needed another one, I would not hesitate purchasing again.
