Alaterre Furniture Durango 20-Inch Tall Industrial Wood Dining Stool - Table or Extra Seat - Unique Rustic Industrial Style and Comfort - Farmhouse, Solid Wood Furniture

Exceeded my expectations across the board. Quality craftsmanship, beautiful details, as if it was hand-hewn. The color is perfect: Not too dark, not too light. A delicious caramel color. Holds firm even when I plop down on it.READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY! Read them through FIRST, before you assemble, and really do NOT tighten the screws all the way. There was a step that you kind of have to imply because the instructions skip over it, so I did have to struggle a bit on the first pass and I was glad I paid attention to the directive about not tightening the screws until the end.I assembled solo, but it is probably better to do it with a helper, just to hold elements. Assembly didn't take that long, though.A great addition to the kitchen, it's been used as a seat, table, shelf, chopping block. The height gives it versatility. A+, definitely recommend.

Easy assembly, twenty minutes.Extremely solid and sturdy. Excellent hardware.I have one of these and a similarly sized teak stool. This one is more favored and gets more use. It is a an excellent piece of traditional bedroom, boudoir, studio or dressing room furniture.It is a bit rustic, so it may not be suitable in formal decor. I have a mix of both and a lot old furniture so it matches the eclectic decor in my boudoir studio frolicking room. It's a heavy, solid, substantial, supportive and well crafted 20 inch stool that will last a long time with extensive and intensive use.I did have to apply a little bit of wood filler to the seat surface. Hardly noticeable blemish with the woodgrain, and a small but very noticeable knot. The description does say knot-free, but there is a knot in the center of the seat, and it had a tad bit of rough grain around it. No big worry for me; matter of fact, I enjoyed smoothing it out and burnishing to a silky finish. Not bad at all given the excellent price point at 67 US dollars, and it touched up nicely anyway.

Awesome counter stool. Built like a tank, solid wood, great finish, easy to assemble, should last for many, many years. Very happy with the purchase, that I plan to order 3-more!

I love these stools because they hold a lot of weight and they are super comfortable and stable. They look great with our furniture too. The varnish smell is strong when you first put them together but it dissipates quickly. We just left them in the garage for a few days and then it wasn't noticeable at all. Love them!

I needed a sturdy stool to put by the door where I want to sit to out in shoes. It went together easily, looks great and feels sturdy!

I went back and bought a second one. Super sturdy, good for a desk and fits all the way under out of the way. I bought it when I got sciatica the first time. I needed a solid surface for my back to feel better. The seat is beveled in the middle.The only suggestion I have for the manufacturer is for more color options. I love the dark, but was looking for a lighter color wood.

Amazing quality for the price! Looks/is high end in person. Cant believe this price!

I use this stool often for my photography business. Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Worth every penny!
