Would you know what kind of wood the seat is made of and if the one you received had cracks? Do these stools feel sturdy or flimsy, wobbly or secure?

Hello, the two stools I ordered were better than I expected. Very robust in structure and no crack in the wood. I am totally satisfied with mine.

I'm not sure what kind of wood the seats are made of, but it's hardwood and it's protected with a light varnish. You could likely sand the seats down and stain them if you'd like, I'm sure. These stools aren't super-duper heavy duty but they do seem substantial enough for years of wear. We wanted stools with a bit of an industrial feel and these definitely have that. We're using them in the pub we're opening, as seating for a sit-down video game, and they're absolutely perfect for that (and the seat height is adjustable). Our only concern is that someone will steal them! They're pretty great and we're very satisfied with our purchase.

We have just purchased, 2 and then 2 more of these stools, very sturdy. Not sure what type of wood, but very light. We have sanded lightly and stained a darker color to match our decor, which was easy. We delivered right away, I am very pleased so far, one caution; the plastic protecters on the bottom of tha legs tend to crack, we put felt furniture protecters on anyway so this is no big deal.

The seat is a light wood, perhaps pine? It's a thick, solid piece and is finished very nicely with a smooth, semi-gloss finish. No cracks. They feel very sturdy and even with the seats up high from the base, they are not flimsy or wobbly. I'm very pleased with them. I bought one, just to try it out and ended up buying 3 more because I liked them so much. And for the price, it's an awesome deal.

Not sure of the wood, perhaps pine. But otherwise, very sturdy and secure. The seat moves a bit because of the way you adjust it, but otherwise a very solid, heavy stool.

I believe the wood is pine. None of the five stools had any cracks they were in perfect condition. The stools are sturdy. We absolutely love them. We recently had a dinner party of roughly 30 and everyone commented on how great they are.

The seats are a light, smooth wood with no cracks. I had planned to paint them, but the finish is pretty as is. The stools are very sturdy. We have young grandsons, so we did not want them to be able to tip them over or fall backward. We have been very pleased and will probably buy another one.

Hi Jane,The chairs are okay. But probably not long term sitting. Also they are not very sturdy but I use them as counter seating so it's fine. They do look very nice though. And fairly easy to clean. I give it a 7 out of 10. Hope this is helpful.

Stools are very sturdy and made well for the money. I believe they'll hold up to 300 pounds. I'm very happy with mine!!!

My husband and I purchased these, and yes they absolutely can hold that kind of weight, however the stools wobbled and squeaked so bad that we returned them. We tried everything to fix them without any luck, So beware. The company was also not pleasant to work with and it took 2 months to get my refund.

The legs are darkish, like mahogany. The chairs are not flimsy; they are sturdy and I would think they could hold up to 300 lbs. Be aware that the seat is very firm and has a hump that may or may not soften as they are used. Can't tell whether it is springs or just lots of new stuffing.

My husband weighs about 255, and its held up his weight no problem. The only reason I would look at something else, is my two bar stools that I purchased only lasted about one year. The legs cracked, they wouldn't spin hardly any more, and the cushion after sitting in it for 30 minutes would eventually start to hurt your butt because it was like it deflated or something. Do not recommend. My husband only sat in the one 99% of the time, and the other hardly ever got used by our son, and they both were either severely defective, or junk.

They are solid, they feel like they could be solid wood. It is almost an inch thick and does not have any give or flex. :) I hope this answer was helpful.

The legs are not overtly thick but are proportionate to the overall look of the stool. They are sturdy and can support most average weights. If you have an extra large family or friends a different type of stool may be more comfortable and appropriate. We removed two inches off the bottom of each leg for a better fit at our kitchen island.

I wouldn't trust the chairs. I'm 135 lbs and they are flimsy when I sit in them.

The stools are made of solid hard wood. I am not certain that you may use them for long term use out doors where they may have to withstand the elements. I bought my set for indoor purposes. I suggest that you contact the sellers of this product regarding the designed use of their product.

They are very stable. I like the way they are constructed because you can easily tighten them again if they need it in the future. I took out the nubs on the feet and replaced them with thick felt to reduce rocking. That worked great.They are not heavy chairs. A touch on the small side.

It looks like it wouldn't be a problem to me , but I didn't put mine together. They are wonderful stools and sturdy!!

They are holding up just fine, one of them came with different pre-drilled holes in them, I had to go to Home Depot to get different bolts to attached the legs, making a return of both chairs, seemed like a hassle, so I just kept them, the rails are NOT identical. Other than that they are sturdy. Good Luck!!

Hello Darian,My wife uses the stool and even after about a year of use looks new, does not shake, the cushion is still good. About the weight capacity, I'd say it has been good with my wife who is under 150 lbs.
1516159
I'm not sure what the weight capacity is but I purchased these stools and thought they were beautiful. However, I had to return them about 1 week after receiving them . The cushions on the stools wore out so quickly that we felt as if we were sitting on hard wood. My husband weighs about 270 and I'm 130 so I am not sure if it had anything to do with a weight capacity or just the quality of the piece.

They are made of wood. The seats are definitely solid wood, as advertised. Very happy with this purchase.
