Customer Reviews for StyleWell Kipling Black Metal Counter Stool with Back

Easy assembly and perfect color

Chair itself is fine but the color is way off from the images online. It was much more bright royal blue.

My four chairs arrived today and I was very excited and attempted to put them together. They are advertised as easy to assemble, only need the included Allen wrench. But the directions say it takes two people (really?) I read how to assemble, and it looked simple. However, the quality control is so bad (on this really nice chair) that you can't possibly put them together--even using a mallet to try to force them. One reviewer giving a one-star rating said it simply..."ridiculous." After trying to assemble one chair, I opened the other three boxes and they are all the same--I hoped I could salvage at least two of them and return the other two for two more and keep my fingers crossed. I have two parts somewhat together on the first chair, but can't get them apart to load back into the box. The alignment of the holes is awful! If they had been drilled correctly at the factory, or someone had caught this issue at quality control, I know I'd love these chairs. I'm adding pictures to show how the parts won't go together, and possible evidence that this chair might have been returned after a customer couldn't get the part all the way together.

The chairs were easy to install and good quality. I bought three chairs for my kitchen island and they look great. The only bad thing is that two of the chairs had paint scratches on some areas.

I have a real bad back problem, and was always looking for a stool that I could use sitting at the counter, and do my daily work in the kitchen. I was looking for a stool that is sturdy enough to bee shoved around and is easy to clean. My kitchen furniture and all the appliances are white, and i finally came about this white stool that fits the requirements. It is made of metal that is painted white, and it has smooth surfaces that are easy to clean. It is very sturdy, but not to heavy to be moved around behind the counter. I am very ahppy that i finally found the stool I was looking for!

The Kipling metal counter stool (white) features square tube legs, footrests and supportive back. The steel frame is very sturdy while adding a touch of industrialism. The chair came ready to assemble in a 6 x 18 x 40 inch carton. The components are well protected for shipment with minimal chances of being damaged during shipment. The powder-coated finish is a soft minimal thickness coating, it is easy to wipe clean however the coating can easily be scratched. The instructions indicate that the chair can be easily assembled with only an Allen wrench that is supplied. Due to distortion on two of the parts, I found that a rubber mallet was necessary to get the parts mated. I found that the quality of the welding and the fabrication of the parts left a lot to be desired. The screw holes were very rough and neither the supplied screws nor the screw holes were chamfered, thus making starting the screws difficult. In addition the clearance holes did not always lineup, thus some of the clearance holes had to be ground out so that the assembly could be completed. I also found that some of the welds were very good while others were very poor, showing minimum penetration and inclusion of slag. Once assembled, the stool is very sturdy and comfortable, recognizing that this is a metal seat. This product is from China.

Kipling White Metal Counter Stool w/ Full Back This stool is very sturdy with a glossy white finish and has an industrial look. The height (about 39 inches) the seat (about 21 inches deep and 16 inches wide) are the perfect size. The leg rung ( foot rest) in the front is at the right angle/level so my legs are straight and very comfortable. This metal chair has what they call a full back. It also comes in five other glossy colors and two heights and weights just over 16 lbs. The only tool you need is the Allen wrench that comes included in the box. Overall this is a really nice stool.

Love the color and sturdy build

out of four chairs only one was usable. scratched paint on two chairs and one wouldn't fit together. I returned all of the chairs. return was very easy and refund was fast

It took 4 orders to receive enough hardware to assemble (2) chairs. Final product is average but how product was packaged and delivered was horrible.

The stools were very nice. Assembled one and was impressed with quality. Had to return them because way too tall for our island. Had to literally hang over our plate to eat. Would purchase again. Return was easy at local store.

I bought this to do seated exercises, and thought it would be the right height since I am tall. It is about an inch too tall but it works for me. It's light enough to move out of the way when I don't need it and doesn't mark my floors,

Ex to assemble. Great color, great look. The price is a little steep, but worth it.

Not sure why I bought a month ago for 60 now it says 99 and on sale.

This chair was easy to assemble. About a month after having it, one of the foot screws fell out. When we went to reinsert it, the screw foot inner piece was missing. Called Home Depot, no replacement part, so they recommended we disassemble it and mail it back for a return. We had no way to do this, so we have a defective chair. Waste of money.

Well made chairs. You may have to apply pressure to get the screws to line up, but the metal flexes relatively easily. There are plenty of screws to tighten with that tiny hex driver. It took longer to remove all the oversized stickers and their residue than to build the chair.

They are perfect exactly what I was looking for

These chairs are sturdy and comfortable. The back support is great.

These are nice stools. Light weight but sturdy.

Stylish but not very comfortable

These are super easy to assemble and the quality is good. The only issue I have is that the manufacturer has put large black and white stickers on each part to help with assembly. However the stickers are almost impossible to remove. Also, you can’t use goo gone because it removes the finish on the chair. I made that mistake on the first sticker. Plan on hours of sticker removal if you buy these.

Excellent barstools. Looked for a long time to find this barstool height. Comfortable and perfect height.
