BoraamAugusta Bar Height Swivel Stool, 29-Inch, Cappuccino, 2-Pack

We are very pleased with the three chairs recently purchased and assembled. They are well-suited for a tall kitchen counter. I find them very comfortable to sit on and, unlike some other reviews I have read, the seat is not too small. They also blend in well with the decor. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 star review was because one of the chairs had a cracked footrest. When I spoke with customer service, they apologized and rushed me a replacement. Unfortunately, it also had a crack. When I wrote to my representative about this, she again apologized and assured me that the next replacement would be checked over carefully. It was again rushed out and was in fact perfect. Even though my experience with the chairs was not perfect, I have to give a lot of credit to their service department for making everything right.

This may sound like a commercial for this company but we can't say enough good things about this quality product and their friendly helpful customer service. We had uncomfortable bar stools for so long and kept adjusting and putting cushions on them. These are perfect from the get go. My husband enjoys his morning reading on these chairs because they are so comfy and easy to swivel but not so easy that the kids want to use them as a ride. Sturdy wood. They used double screws in each connection point which spells quality and attention to detail. We called the company with a question. No phone tree #$%@^ a caring live person who speaks English well answered. Get that from any company nowadays. Anyway we will enjoy these bar stools for many years and have even sent pictures to others who are interested in upgrading their stuff.

This stool is excellent quality and is a GREAT value. I am a finicky customer who has been a product guy for most of his career, so I don't say this lightly. I am so impressed that I am writing a detailed review for those that want the details. To be precise, I would give this product 4-1/2 stars if it were possible, but I am rounding up to 5 rather than down to 4.Packaging- as others have noted, the packaging is exemplary. and explains why each piece arrived in perfect condition. It takes 15 minutes to completely unpack everything and lay it out for assembly. It's worth every minute! Others have complained that they couldn't find the hardware. My boxes arrived with a red plastic tag on the outside of the box labeled "hardware" and when you open the box you realize that tag is connected to the hardware package. Clearly, they listened to the feedback and made it painfully obvious where the hardware is.Wood and Finish- While the description calls this "cherry" finish I would describe it as a medium mahogany color. The wood itself appears to be some kind of Asian mahogany such as luan (Phillipino mahogany). The color goes very well with my medium cherry cabinets and Brazilian cherry floor.I am a woodworker and am very impressed with the finish. It is a satin finish, and examining all of the pieces of three stools, it is damn near perfect in any area that shows.Construction- all of the pieces fit together very well. Every bolt engages with a metal threaded insert. You will not be driving any wood screws. All of the bolts are Allen screws so you can crank them good and tight. The foot rest is sturdy, not a flimsy piece of wood. Just the same, I wouldn't stand on it.As I was assembling the first one, I noticed that the swivel was a bit stiff. Rest assured that once assembled and with your weight on it, the stool swivels readily. I'm going to guess that they made it a little tight so kids wouldn't spin on it Probably some do-gooder in Washington mandated that so kids couldn't have fun. ;-)Assembly- the instructions are sufficient but not elaborate. And I might add, they are only helpful if you look them over before beginning assembly. Naturally, I did not do that before assembling my first stool. The most important lesson learned from that is that it really does matter that you assemble these in the order of the steps outlined.The assembly steps are, 1) attach the four legs to the foot rest, 2) attach the "apron" (ring below the seat), (note that the instructions present the preceding two steps as one step), 3) attach back to seat, 4) attach assembled seat to swivel mount. The bolts are very clearly labeled as are the washers, and an Allen wrench is included. Here are a few notes and tips:1. All bolts are installed with flat washers. All bolts also use lock washers EXCEPT for the final four that attach the seat to the swivel.2. If you don't follow the recommended order, you will find it very awkward to get at some of the bolts.3. First assemble the legs and two rings FINGER TIGHT. A very common mistake is to snug each bolt as you install it and then complain that things don't line up. Once the legs and the rings are loosely assembled, set the unit on a flat surface (I used my granite kitchen island) and then tighten. I recommend you tighten the seat ring first, and then foot rest.4. The Allen wrench has a ball tip on one end- this is a great feature for turning the bolt head from an angle when necessary, until the final half turn of tightening.5. I put an old towel down on my counter so nothing would get scratched.6. The bolts and washers are oily when they come out of the package. I would have a rag handy to wipe them off while you assemble.7. I found it helpful to use my metric Allen wrench set (shown as it provides a great handle and also can be bent 90 degrees.8. The bottom of the seat back where it attaches to the seat is a slightly wider arc than the seat base. You might be concerned about a gap when you first line them up. Start all six bolts, and then snug up the center first before the outside bolts. As you tighten you will see it pull the center of the seat back closer to the seat bottom until it is flush. Then tighten the outside bolts.The assembled unit is very attractive and looks like it could have cost double or more. The seat cushion itself is on the firm side. I have very little padding on my back side (!) so I would have preferred a bit more padding on the seat. The seat back is VERY comfortable.Although these are proper counter height, I would have preferred if they were an inch or two taller. I measured the under-counter clearance and it is pretty much as it should be. But I'm on the shorter side, so I would have preferred sitting slightly higher. Bar height stools would have been too tall.To sum up, if you like the look of these, go for it. I am deeply impressed with the quality and the value they represent. If anything changes, I'll come back and update this review. Here are a few pictures to give you a better idea.

These chairs are great. The packaging was sturdy and they were well protected so they arrived in great condition. The instructions were very well written and easy to follow - I purchased 2 chairs and didn't even need the instructions to assemble the second one, which took 35 minutes from unpacking the box to last bolt tightened. All of the screw holes lined up nicely and everything screwed in nice and tight. The seat is comfortable, the wood is great quality and they should last a long time. So happy with this purchase!

I purchased this bar stool as it was roughly $150.00 cheaper than a comparable one at a local furniture store. After unpacking it and confirming that all parts were included, I noted one wooden support piece was cracked. I reached out to the company’s service department via phone and email. They quickly responded,reviewed my claim and shipped a no charge replacement the same day.The product was easy to assemble and seems to be very sturdy. I would highly recommend this company and it’s products.

The chairs were easy to put together and the instructions/illustrations easy to understand. Once I put the first chair together, I knew the drill and was able to do the 2nd and 3rd chairs more quickly. The chair seat is not huge, so this would not be a good choice for a large person. The chairs appear to be good quality and I hope they hold up. The seats are a sturdy feeling vinyl, so I hope the material will resist tears and scratches.

I got this so I can work at the counter, because sitting on a normal stool (pictured in the background) for more than an hour was really hurting my back.. But this one actually allows you to sit there and focus longer since it's not making your body ache, even be able to lay back and rest a little while staying busy, and I was surprised it moves easily along the floor and swivels too..! So almost feels like a rollie chair, but a little more stable, and actually perfect height.. It does seem a little low when you're used to the normal height of a stool, but when I started using it I realized half the reason for my back pain was I had to "hunch" over the counter with a normal stool, and this one is low enough that I'm not hunching down while working.Still a little pricey for a stool, but it works...

I ordered four of these chairs. Amazon had the best pricing, so I took the plunge -- even though I was a bit nervous by some of the reviews (damaged goods or poor quality). I am happy to report that all four of my chairs arrived in perfect condition, with no blemishes at all. As far as I'm concerned, these swivel stools are unbeatable for the price. Hopefully they will stand up over time.Assembling them is super easy. After the first one you get the hang of it and the others will go together without having to look at the instructions. The assembly is based entirely on bolts, lock washers and washers. So pretty straightforward. The main thing to keep in mind is to leave the foot ring bolts a little loose (noted on the instruction sheet) and only tighten them as the very last step. Do this on a flat floor so you can ensure the legs are even.The most "challenging" part is when you put the back of the chair onto the padded seat. This is because it's a semi-circle, so some of the screws can bind a little if you're not careful. Leave them all fairly loose until you get all six into place and then begin tightening them equally back and forth. This will ensure the pieces come together with the least amount of binding pressure.All in all I would recommend these stools. They are extremely well packaged. One final tip to make things go faster. Before you put any bolts in, separate all the bolts into groups and add all the washers onto the bolts in the proper order. Then, it's really quick to put it all together.

The chairs are nice and decent, the only problem was one of the inserts was missing to screw the back of the chair to the seat. Fortunately I had an old chair that I could dig an insert out of and fix it. Other than that it was fairly easy and took about 1/2 hour per chair to assemble.

The surface area is a little small. I’m 6’4” and 280lbs so a little more area to sit would be better. The stools themselves are very nice though

Love these counter stools. Bought 3. They're very sturdy, swivel nicely and look great!

I took a gamble on ordering these since a lot of the recent reviews shows broken ones. I purchased 3 and to my relief all were in take. I wouldn’t say it’s 10/10 quality but for the cost you’re paying Id say a solid 7/10. They look great and look like we spent a lot more money on them then we did. They’re not the most comfortable, I wish the seat was bigger. But as someone with wide hips and am larger it works fine. Again zero complaints considering the cost for something comparable but MAYBE better quality would be 3-4x the cost.
