Solid and Ready to Spin
I purchased this for a client's craft room and had it in my home for months until their project was ready for furniture delivery. It was packaged well and I was impressed with the solid construction. The base is heavy, so it wouldn't be ideal for a kid's room since they couldn't easily move it around. But I love the modernized industrial styling, right on trend. It added nice character to my house as a small accent table by a mid-century console but it looks just as good in the client's bright, playful craft room.

Love this stool
Against light-colored walls, this stool makes a design statement. Very industrial, with the metal legs. This stool sets the pace for the rooms I've put it in. Just wish I could find more places to put it. Also very solid and well made.

Chic Meets Industrial
I bought two of the contact stools to go with my silverado clear table. At first this was just concept, I was hoping to use these for dual purposes - as a stool for my dining table as well as a bar stools. Now, you can't adjust the height on these stools. So given that, I am not able to use them as bar stools but they look really great with my table. I am very happy with my purchase and get compliments on them all the time.

sturdy!
I'm noticing a trend with the loads of furniture I've purchased from cb2 - everything that acts as a seat, is the perfect height. Some stools are too tall - and comfortable to sit on when only your tip-toes touch the floor. These are the perfect height. And so sturdy. I love the industrial style. Goes great with the silverado table and joe chairs (as pictured, of course).

Not just a stool
Bought these to go with the blox table and I totally dig them. They match perfectly and bring in a modern-industrial look without being overbearing. They are so well made, heavy on the bottom and they swivel 360 degrees, but do not go up or down. The wood is a nice, deep brown with color variations and the iron base is a dull black color. I can see this stool being used for a plant stand or a side table as well as extra seating. It's a steal at the price cb2 is selling it for.

Rustic yet modern
I bought two of these stools to compliment my dining room chairs and absolutely loved it. Everyone that comes over compliments the stools. The wood is of excellent quality as is the steel. I was very surprised to see how heavy it is, but I think that just has to do with the good quality. I'm buying a summer home soon and will def be picking up a few more.

Versatile Stools
We purchased two of these stools a few months ago and they have moved all over the house ever since because of how versatile they are. They have been used in our entry way for pulling on shoes, as mini side tables in the living room, mini night tables in the bedroom, and extra seating in the kitchen! They are very sturdy, well made, and will last a long time.

It's a stool; it's a table.
I think this piece is a bargain. Heavy duty and very stable. Spins nicely, too. This industrial hardware would look great in loft, garage, art studio, cafe, restaurant or home. I bought two for use as occasional tables and for extra seating when we max-out the dining room chairs. ...we put extra folks on the corners of the table. Add a pillow or pad if you expect to sit for more than 20 minutes.

Wonderful.
Boy, this stool is heavy but it is fabulous! Comfortable, swings 360 degrees, beautiful coloring. If you are on the fence about this one, you should definitely get it. Have already gotten so many compliments on it. Have had fun matching it with an industrial silver chair, handmade bench of coffee sacks, and the Blox Mango Dining Table. I love sitting down for dinner now!

Cool Stool
This stool is everything it's promised to be. The quality is superior, the look sleek and modern. Glad I made the purchase for my new home.

Beautiful Piece
The quality of this piece speaks volumes. Great construction, beautiful wood and the look are the features that I definitively love about this stool. As other reviews, the fact that is not adjustable is somewhat a shortcoming; but I will without a doubt buy more.

Long Lasting Quality
I purchased two of these stools to have as extra dining seating for guests. The height is just right for the table and I like the swivel seating. They are extremely heavy and will be a long lasting piece of furniture that will wear well with added character.

seriously sturdy stool
I purchased 10 of these stools for my new restaurant and they are excellent. Super sturdy and heavy duty so no chance of them falling over or falling apart. And they spin but do not go up and down so there is no chance of them coming apart, so when we seat kids on them they can spin and spin and spin and never break our awesome stools!

It's won me over . . .
Ordered this on a lark to fill out a web order for a free shipping promotion. At the time I was skeptical, but figured I could use it for seating for visitors in my home office, or for a side-table or extra seating in the living room.
It's turned out to be one of the best serendipity purchases I've made in a long time. As others have remarked, it's very sturdy, and the base is quite heavy. I don't think this is a negative, though -- how often do you find yourself complaining that something new is lighter and flimsier than it appeared in the catalog?? -- and in fact the heft and quality it exudes convinces visitors that it's actually a very old piece.
The only thing that I'm not ecstatic about is the mango wood top -- nothing wrong with it, just not a wood/finish that does much for me, though several visitors have loved it. But it's exactly as represented in the photos/description, so I don't consider this a flaw. The finish does contribute to the appearance of an amazing find.
Best part: now used as a side table for my comfy chair, if I should find my cold drink too far for a comfortable reach, I can spin the top and reach my soda without sitting up!

This Stool Rules on Multifunction
I like to rearrange furniture items in my home often. Therefore, each piece must offer more than one use. I have used this stool as seating at my desk, an end table, and a coffee table. It's industrial look fits with many types of decor, and the the swivel action of the wood top is a fun bonus. Fantastic design!

look and feel like you would expect
Nice looking stools, you can trust the picture. They are really solid and seem like they will last forever without declining at all in appearance. I don't think they will ever show any wear or tear.
The seat swivels/spins and is not adjustable, by the way. Little rubber things come attached into the feet. They seem as good as they can be now, but the rubber feet might not last as long as the stool, several years later.
I looked at them in store before ordering them online. Since they're so heavy and not inexpensive, I wanted to see before buying.

Form and Function
Sturdy, heavyweight and unimposing. Great for small spaces. Can tuck under a table to be out of the way and pulled out when extra seating is needed. Wish the seat height was adjustable, but it works perfectly with a standard table. Chic and industrial in its own right, but stunning with any eclectic decor.

Sturdy and attractive
I am pleased with my contact stools that I have found to be quite appealing and sturdy. My spouse finds them attractive, and recommends them, too.

Best industrial stool!
Love the look and how strong the stools are. Great rough iron finish. Best purchase!

Worth the Money
I purchased the stool over a month ago and I absolutely love it! It is VERY sturdy and it's just a handsome stool.
The only thing I wish I could change, which others have commented on, is the that the stool doesn't swivel up or down. Other than this minor preference, this stool is absolutely worth the money.
