Belfast Saddle Counter Stool

I recently got the Counter Stool and I'm in love with it! It's amazing, soft, and incredibly sturdy. Its assembly was super easy and it took few minutes to make this beautiful counter stool. The seat is spacious and cushioned, providing great comfort. The dimensions are just right for my kitchen counter. The stool is durable with strong legs and a convenient footrest. It can hold up to 300lbs, which is impressive. Overall, I highly recommend the Counter Stool for its style, comfort, and durability. It's been a great addition to my kitchen!

The upholstery, nailhead trim, and wood finish create a polished, upscale appearance.

I received this product for free from Madison Park via Influenster for testing and for my honest review. This stool looks very nice and high end, and I think would look good in a number of different style rooms/homes. The materials also seem to be relatively good quality. Unfortunately, the construction does not match these standards. The screws holding the metal plating on the foot-pieces of the legs are not screwed in flat/fully, and are not flush with the leg. Additionally, there’s a small area of one leg that seems to have been missed during painting (photos attached of both of these issues). The stool did not come assembled, but only took about 20 minutes to put together. However, the assembly did have some issues. When assembling the stool, there is not a pre-made starter hole in the legs when screwing the supports to the legs (these supports attach the legs to each other and add stability), therefore you need to make the hole as you install the screw. This also caused some of the screws to start to strip out when trying to tighten them. Additionally, these screws are meant to be installed in line with each other which means the screws on each side of the leg take up the same general space and could run into each other. Both of these issues made it impossible to get the supports fully screwed in, leaving slight gaps between the support and the leg and potentially compromising stability and structure. Finally, the seat is not incredibly comfortable. The cushion is not very thick, and there is not cushioning at the edge meaning your leg is resting on the fabric covered wood edge of the stool seat with no padding. This isn’t painful for me, but isn't particularly comfortable. But for my boyfriend who has larger legs and more weight, it was unpleasant to sit normally on the seat. I think this would be a good purchase for an area where aesthetics are more important than comfort (a model home, a room meant more for entertaining than daily use, etc) but less so as a stool you would use every day. I worry it will not hold up to long term use, and I certainly don’t think it’s comfortable enough to be a good choice to sit in for long periods of time or every day.

I use these stools daily and they're both comfortable and durable.

Comfortable, sturdy, and beautifully designed. These counter stools have been a wonderful addition to my home.
