I have very high counter tops. These are the only bar stools that I could find that were tall enough...and at a reasonable price. They are stylish and sturdy.

Solid, utilitarian seating. Looks exactly like the photos. Assembly was a bit confusing and all in text, I could have used a diagram to help guide me.

The same durable, utilitarian stools I remember from my childhood- these will last for decades!

5 Stars

Heavy duty is a good way to describe this - it took a while to assemble but it's very sturdy. A bit too heavy for kids to move around easily but well made.

Stool

great stool; not so nice on your backside. Definitely need a seat cushion.

Chair seems solid. The assembly instructions leave much to be desired, but it went together without much difficulty.

4 Stars

I purchased this to go with a very small computer desk in a tight area. It fits perfectly, and is very sturdy. I also like the industrial style of it. Think high school shop stool.It is rather compact, so probably not the most comfortable seat in the house for long periods of time as the seat is tiny.

The chair itself is fine, but the instructions for assembly weren't completely correct. The arm actually needs to go into the mounting plate before attaching it to the bottom of the chair. If you screw in the mounting plate first, there isn't enough room for the arm to slide all the way in. Once I figured that out, it was fine. Granted, it's during the holiday break, so we'll see how it does once my son finally does his homework in it.

ok as is

My husband bought this chair for his workbench. He assembles small motors and needed a seat with a back rest. It works well for him.

Great Workshop Stool!

I love this stool! Very comfortable and sturdy with easy assembly. Color in photos are true to product itself. Fast shipping! Thanks, O.co!!

Very simple chair perfect for its purpose. I only have it at 4 stars because the instructions for assembly are horrible and the seat back adjustment is awkward.

legs are stuck

It's really hard to configure this chair - pulling the legs out to make it higher is impossible and the back to it won't screw tight. These look like a great "high school drafting class" chair but not as sturdy as I remember them from back in the day

Sturdy, flexible back

It's actually a bit more comfortable than you'd think, given that all the surfaces are hard. Not something you'd want to sit in for hours (unless maybe you add a cushion to the seat), but the fact that the back flexes a bit helps., ,,,,, , ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Very sturdy., ,,,,,,,,,,,,, , ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Marking 4 stars rather than 5, because the first one that came had a flaw in the seat. Overstock replaced it with no problems. The replacement had a small dot on the seat, too, but not worth sending back again.

The testing department asked for workbench stools and these were the perfect fit! the backs required minimal assembly and we were sitting within minutes. The back is sturdy and even holds up to rocking or leaning on the back 2 feet!!! They are great!

sturdy and authentic

I was looking for something nostalgic to use in my renovated 1898 Victorian kitchen. These stools from National Public Seating are sold primarily to school science labs. I've seen pictures on the web of them painted vibrant colors and they look great. These stools are very sturdy and stable, they have a 300# weight limit, which is great for my husband who is 6'3" and 250#.

Just what I wanted

As the title says, just what I wanted - nice industrial look for my kitchen that I spray painted the color I wanted. Easy coverage, easy to put together, lots of compliments. Very low profile - they slide right up under my kitchen island and take up no walk way space whatsoever. They also feel very sturdy for when I need to climb but don't feel like getting the step ladder out!

Product not as pictured

The stool arrived in a timely manner. However, the picture shows adjustable legs on the stool and the description indicated the legs were adjustable as well. The stool DOES NOT have adjustable legs. Very misleading! I could have purchased the stool (without adjustable legs) cheaper from another source.

Serves it's purpose well

We bought two of these to accompany our Pac-Man cocktail gaming table also bought on overstock. We needed an adjustable stool the was light weight, affordable and didn't take up too much space. These stools are perfect. They are small and lightweight and the price is right. I don't think that I would put them in a dining room, but they fit in the space we needed nicely and are sturdy enough for the purpose they are intended for.
