Boraam Jones Bar Height Swivel Stool - Cherry

There is nothing cheap about these stools; they are heavy (37 pounds) and solid, with a very nice finish. I just finished assembling three of them, and it was quite a workout. The assembly instructions are diagrams, thorough and understandable for the most part but requiring careful study. All assembly parts are included along with one Allen wrench, the only tool needed.Unpacking the heavy (46.5 pounds) shipping box was quite interesting as the parts are well wrapped and nestled very snugly together with lots of cushioning material. Opening the box is a challenge as the flaps are secured with tape and glue. I used a knife for the tape and a putty knife to hack through the glue; it takes some time and effort. Good, secure packing does make sense as the box had to travel from Vietnam.The assembly proceeds in stages, and the instructions are clear as to the steps required. The screws are of various sizes and care is necessary to use the correct one at the correct time. The screw receptors are metal which ensures a good tight fit.The first assembly step is to attach the four legs to the seat swivel assembly and then to the foot rest. Insert all of the screws and tighten, but leave some play until the whole thing is finished and then tighten fully. The next step is to attach the back rest to the seat, and for this a table is required. I learned the hard way to not completely tighten the back rest and seat assembly screws as leaving some play makes the last step, installation of the arm rests much easier. After this step, completely tighten all of the screws.After completion, I installed foot protectors, Amazon 16 pack clear with felt bottom in X-Large. They fit very well and not only protect our hardwood but also slide very easily. If I had any sense, I would have installed them on the four legs prior to assembly.These are very solid, well made stools, and I would purchase them again.

I was really surprised how nice these are for the price. The wood is thick and solid and these are much bigger than I imagined. Fully assembled I’d say these are worth 2 to 3 times more than I paid. Once I put one together I actually went back to my amazon history to see if I paid what I thought I paid. Everything fit right together and while I’d say it was medium difficulty to assemble, it wasn’t that bad and worth it. I really like the height, we have a split level island and needed taller chairs. These are perfect for what is often called bistro height counters. If you need tall bar stools and want quality look and feel then this is it!

Outstanding product!!!

You cannot ask for a better product,

Swivel plate bent.new plate is on the way.i weight 170lb and says it's rated for 300lbs.i wouldn't buy again.it looks nice but I'm not here to impress anyone.i sit in it everyday.

Solid wood construction. ( I was a custom furniture builder for 20 years) . Nice finish. Cushions are a bit thin..but it's still comfortable to sit and watch a full football game. Easy to assemble. PLEASE ADD 3-4 WASHERS when attaching the swivel seat to the base!!! Trust me, I know you don't know me but if you don't then the seat rubs the base when you swivel! Otherwise pleased.

When we got the barstools everything was fine until we went to swivel. They both had the wrong swivel for the barstools.We emailed the company through Amazon return option for help. They responded right away, and we got the replacement swivel plates within a week and they work perfectly! We are very happy with these beautiful barstools, and with the company.

I shopped a long time before settling on these chairs. Our bar is the focal point of our den and it gets used a lot. The chairs we had prior were about 12 years old and needed to be replaced. These chairs really make a statement and set off our room. They are bold and rich looking. The wood is heavy and the seats and backs hit you at all the right parts. The seat is very firm and I am hoping it will break in a little bit with use. The chairs are very sturdy and no wobbles. However I am not crazy about the memory swivel, it is extremely tight and takes a bit of leg effort to hold it into the rotated spot, you are actually better off turning the entire chair in the direction you want to look, Putting these chairs together took a bit of patience. My husband is very skilled when it comes to this kind of stuff and it gave him a work out. All the holes were lined up correctly except the one chair, where you attach the seat to the back, but he finally got it. Putting the bases together and chair onto the base was a pretty quick process. What took the longest was the back to the seat and the arms. The screws took forever to get all the way in and tightened. He did this by hand with the hardware provided and said his hands felt numb by the 4th chair. It would have gone much faster with a correct power tool. All and all we are quite happy with these chairs and feel that for the money they were a great buy.
