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 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!

Wow so beautiful and goes perfectly with the decor. I really like the height, it's a little taller than my others and it's perfect. So easy to put together. Looks absolutely beautiful.

I love the Belfast Saddle Counter Stool by Madison Park it's a great piece of furniture that seamlessly blends style and functionality. It's made from high-quality materials and has proven to be quite durable so far. The saddle design is quite comfortable even after extending seating time. Its versatile aesthetic complements various decor styles, adding a nice touch to our kitchen. My wife and I like it some much we've already ordered two more to replace all of our existing barstools.

I received this as a sample in exchange for my honest opinion. I was in need of a new stool for the kitchen and this was a perfect match. The stool came disassembled and was well packaged though the plastic bags containing the parts had a very strong odor. The parts are made in Malaysia and the manual though easy to understand does have some spelling errors though nothing that creates confusion. The hardware was well labeled and corresponded with the images in the manual. I was able to assemble the stool by myself but it would be easier to have another person when it comes to inserting the spacers. Very pleased with how it turned out. Only reason why it did not get five stars is because the plastic bins on the bottom used to protect the floor were not even. I removed them and purchased felt pads.

Really nice stools. Assembly is required. Good thing we had a smaller drill and could get it put together. One side of seat had holes where legs attached, the other didn't. Other stool was fine. Nice color and well padded seat. Should have came as set.

This stool is BEAUTIFUL! Way nicer than I expected. I love how the bar where feet go are covered with metal, which protects paint from chip. It fits perfectly with my 36" kitchen counter. Highly recommend.
