Hillsdale Montello Backless Swivel Counter Stool, Old Steel Finish with Brown Faux-Leather

Love them!
First, the color of the seat is much closer to the legs than the redish brown you see in this picture. The stool is easy to put together and I am hardly a handyman. There was no problem with the screws being long enough. I did wish they had sent a few more screws and washers, but I didnt need any.The stool is high quality. VERY solid. Nothing cheap about it. There are two semi-circular curves in the piece that hold the bottom of the legs together that are not shown on the picture, but you see them in pictures elsewhere. If you are wondering, they do come with it and they look nice. The stool is on the larger side.I have standard height counters. If you want to eat at the counter, get the the 26″ one. They dont nearly look as nice when stored under the counter, but they are the right height if you are eating at the counter. We dont “eat” dinner at the counter, but seat and stand around it for snacks. For this purpose, the 30″ ones are the way to go, The stools, at that heigth look MUCH nicer when they are stored under the counter.The stool arrived in 72 hours. I bought one first to see if it is close to the pictures, etc. I loved mine and ordered two more. They arrived in 48 hours via Prime.I shopped around for them and Amazon is the lowest price by $60.Hope I have addressed all your question!

Attractive and Sturdy Stool
UPDATE 9/2/2014WARNING!! You can only order 3 STOOLS! Amazon will make you wait a week to order more. I finally got the 4th stool after arguing with customer service, since there is NO mention of a limit until you exceed it. At that point I already had 1 stool and 2 more on the way. Really, who orders 3 stools, usually you want 2 or 4!You can expect to be short hardware since the bag for hardware isn’t even sealed. Only 1 of the 4 stools I got had all the hardware. The stools take a while to put together, that’s why you are not paying $200 or more for them (like I saw in a local store.)Having said all that….I love the stools. They are sturdy, look beautiful, and function well. The legs are definitely more of gold tone versus what I expected for “Old Steel.”_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Stool is very sturdy and attractive. The seat is comfortable and much larger than I expected. I too was missing hardware–2 black washers. :(The metal finish is very golden, more like a golden bronze. Looks great, but it is not a silver or pewter. Ordering 3 more for my kitchen today, and hopefully they will come with all the hardware.

Solid, attractive, very high quality
Extremely happy with our purchase. Originally bought just two. Immediately purchased two more after assembling the first pair. Super sturdy construction. Very well designed. As close to commercial grade as you can get. (See pics showing welds, screws, feet). This stool is going to last a long time. Oh, and these are good for big, fat A55’es too! Nice, big cushion! Love it! (Picture shown with iPhone 6 on cushion to give you perspective).Three out of four stools DID come with missing hardware – each was missing a single washer. And while this was disappointing, I had substitute washers kicking around, and I’ve been so happy with them otherwise, I decided not to mark them down for that. All of our friends love the look!Highly recommended … be prepared to spend a few cents on a washer or two!

Very sturdy and elegant! Love them!
These are stools I have been waiting for! They are sturdy and match my bar perfectly. They are wider then a normal stool but are very comfortable. Assembly took a little time but was very easy. Anyone who said it was complicated or whatever is crazy. Love these stool. Plus, got them on black friday for $99/ea! Lettss goo!

Beautiful stool and easy to assemble. Nice big seat. Only negative is that it is really hard to swivel.
