Hillsdale Montello 32-Inch Swivel Bar Stool, Old Steel Finish with Faux Brown Leather

I ordered this stool knowing it was going to be too tall for my counter area. But I was hoping to cut the legs off and be able to use it. But alas it was too well made and the scuff things were actually welded on!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED the chair but it was just too tall for my use and I had to return it. I like it MUCH better than the ones I had to settle for.......it is a gorgeous finish, beautiful seat, easy to assemble and wonderful construction. GREAT buy and absolutely beautiful.

There is nothing to dislike about these awesome chairs, Love the color and seat cushion which is very comfortable as you rest your feet easily on the sturdy metal frame. Definitely a must buy quality item.

I found these stools at a local retailer for almost twice what I paid for them on Amazon. They were easy to put together and Im not the handy type. I did it myself after reading reviews on how to get the plastic off under the seats. They look great and my kids can get off and on them easily. They are 6 and 7 years old. Very sturdy and they dont tip! Im going to buy the backless ones for the bar downstairs because these worked out so well! The only dislike I have is with the back rest. I thought they were wood and they arent. Love them.

Sturdy, well-made, elegant bar stool. The footprint is small for being such a strong stool. My husband is 6 4 and he comfortably sits on this stool and can swivel without worries. I love how beautiful it looks next to our kitchen bar. Our long search for a sturdy, beautiful bar stool is over.

We searched endlessly on line and in stores, and finally found these stools that fit our peninsula which is much higher than counter tops. These stools are well made, sturdy, and very attractive. They are also very comfortable. The swivel seats and the high backs are a plus hard to find in a stool of this height if you can find one at all! Highly recommend.

Beautiful chair. This is so well constructed. Weld seams are strong and look nice. I am replacing a twelve year old set of chairs that I dearly love. I have the old set zip tied together because so many welds have simply failed over the years. It was finally time to say goodbye to them. I was so pleased with the quality construction on this new chair. Much stronger welds. Better than is standard on the market today. I compared a lot of chairs before settling on this one. The vinyl seat is easily washable. It has a slight texture to it and a subtle color variance that makes it look more like real leather. The top wood looking piece on the back of the chair is also textured. It is very solid and does not wiggle at all where it is attached by screws to the metal frame. The swivel function is not free swinging. It requires some downward weight in the chair and an intentional push to swivel the seat. That is nice. My old chairs were more free swinging and often little fingers would get smashed unintentionally between the chair back and the counter top. As for the color of the metal. It has a very golden cast to the metal. It is not a true age bronze/black/gray look. I have gold flecks in my granite surfaces that tend to make this chair look gold. I might consider painting them black, but other than the color issue, I think this is an amazingly well made and nice looking chair.

Well built and durable. The seat pad on top of the chair is very high and a little difficult to get on.

Chair is well made... base and seat are both very sturdy. All 4 legs of the base are level - the chair doesnt wobble on a level surface. Cushion is comfortable. The chairs I received did not come with the bolts to attach the seat to the base, but assembly was easy after a quick trip to the hardware store. Actual product looked exactly like the photo and all 3 chairs ordered looked the same in both fit and finish. Good product overall... great value.

My husband and I are thrilled with these bar stools. I have not seen anything else come close in quality for this price, and I spent a lot of time looking! One thing to mention: The Old Steel Finish actually was a little more bronze in color than the pictures. For us, that was a big plus; hopefully that will be helpful to someone else considering these stools. One other item to be aware of: The seat is truly 32 off the floor.....many bar stools are 30, so if you are vertically challenged, that may be an issue. Once again, we are very happy with both the appearance, and the sturdy feel of these stools.

The bar stools was very easy to put together, very sturdy and comfortable. The are very nice and look very nice in my home. What I dont like is they are too tall. Theyre 32 inch and I need a 26 or 28 inch.
