I would recommend but with a warning
Color: Weathered Grey
Style: Counter - 26" seat height
I purchased 3 of the saddle stools. They were fairly easy to assemble. The pieces are well marked and the instructions are easy to follow, so they didn't take very long to put together. We did use a different wood glue that we had on hand instead of what came with the stools (based on other's reviews
). The crossbars that needed to be glued and screwed were not pre-drilled in the legs, so my husband had to really push to screw them in. The one bar (D) had the screw holes on the wrong side. I emailed Maven Lane CS (their only form of contact) to see if they would replace just that one piece. It took them about 4-5 days to return my email but they said they would send out that piece. I was happy to not have to return the entire stool. Overall the benches are beautiful and comfortable and I would definitely recommend them. Just beware that they may not be without some issues in the assembling process.

Color: Natural
Style: Counter - 26" seat height
These counter stools are really high quality. Very heavy and a very firm and comfortable seat makes them worth the price. The one thing I was not expecting was the color. I ordered the natural finish since I'm using them at our lake house and wanted them to blend with the natural wood items I have. T
he finish looked like natural on the description on line, however, these are painted finishes. The natural is a definite "harvest gold color" and is antiqued with a dark wash. Attractive if you want a gold finish. I did not. You can tell they are painted because the smell of oil-based paint is still present when they are unpacked. I have no problem with a painted finish, but it should be listed in the product description as such. When the seats wear out or soil, I will change the seat and repaint the stools another color. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the quality, but beware of the finishes! That's the only reason for the four stars and not five.

Wobbles, and distressed look is messy
Color: Weathered Grey
Style: Bar - 31" seat height
You can ignore complaints about assembly. Some people just lack basic spatial skills that make IKEA a torture house. You should already know what kind of person you are. If you can follow basic directions and are not disabled, you can easily build this. My complaint is that it wobbles. No adjustments
are possible the way the holes are drilled, and since there's gluing in the home assembly process, you can't really take it apart to rectify, even if you had the more advanced woodworking skills that most of us don't have anyway. Saving grace is it doesn't rock under weight, it's stable when sat on. Super unlikely anyone but you will notice, but like that blemish you hone in on in the mirror that no one else notices, it's still frustrating. My other complaint is that I bought the distressed version, but all they did is rub in a pasty white stain, and not very artfully either. Makes it look a weird kind of artificially dirty. Still recommend, but if your a handy woodworker, level it before you glue. Also maybe stick to non-distressed options. Otherwise very happy, great cushioning, stylish, perfect height, will be keeping this one.

I ordered three of these. They came fast. They are nice stools and it was very easy to assemble. The only issue I had was one of the large bolts was missing for one stool. I contacted their customer service, and they responded very quickly and shipped the part right away. I just received the part and
finished the assembly for the last stool. All in all, these are very nice bar stools.

Color: White Oak
Style: Bar - 31" seat height
I initially ordered the round backless bar stools, however they were just too big (19" seat) and overwhelmed the bar which is only about 12 inches wide (old style bar that is higher than the kitchen counter). I returned those and ordered 4 of these saddle style stools. I took a star off for the overa
ll issue with 3 out of 4 stools where they wobbled from side to side. The legs were just slightly off but this was easily remediated with felt pads that I cut to size & filled up the gap. I also removed all the plastic caps on the legs and changed to felt for my hardwood floors. I had no problems assembling these by myself, instructions were clear and didn't take very long. The key is to have all your parts set up ready and ready to use around the stool seat and your hardware ready. I'd say this was about a 2 out of 10 in terms of difficulty and any novice should be able to do it. They look great and are almost exactly what I wanted. The color of the fabric could be a bit more white (it has a bit of a yellow tinge to the color) but for the price these were a bargain in my opinion.

Counter Stools, Comfortable and Good Looking
Color: Weathered Oak
Style: Counter - 26" seat height
The Maven Lane counter stools are comfortable and good looking. They are exactly what I wanted. The packages arrived on time and with no damage. They were easy to put together, except the glue was very thick and would not squeeze out of the little bottle. We had to apply the glue using the end of a s
crewdriver. We have been using the stools for about 3 weeks and notice the wood on the stretchers, where you can place your feet, is splintering. We only wear soft soled rubber shoes in the house so the wood should not be splintering because of hard-bottom shoes. Is there a remedy for this issue?

I like the stools. Very nice looking for my decor. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it was missing parts from every box (purchased 4 stools).

Nice, but has some issues.
Color: Weathered Grey
Style: Bar - 31" seat height
So I bought these used from Amazon for nearly a third the price. They are a pain to assemble because you have to use your own strength to tighten the screws. I really struggled with this, but is probably a breeze for a guy. The wood glue is total crap so I didn’t even use it. Once I attached the seat
to the legs, it felt very sturdy. Also, the decorative buttons look tarnished or off somehow. Not sure how to describe it. One side is ok enough that I just kept them. Basically, you get what you pay for. I want to buy a new one to compare, but the price went up! So I’m waiting. I had to return one of three stools because the holes in the legs didn’t match up. Clearly someone had assembled and disassembled it because of that very reason. Very annoyed that they didn’t even bother to fix it and just reshipped it as defective. So be warned!!! Don’t think I’ll buy it used again.

It was exactly as pictured. Went together super easy. Appear to be very sturdy. They match my theme chic country house well. I am very pleased with the purchase and would recommend them to anyone considering bar stools to replace theirs or for the first time.😁 I would definitely order them again if I
needed in the future. Oh, and delivery was quick and right on the money of what Amazon promised! ❤️
