Would not recommend this stool |
| I bought one of these stools about a year ago. It tips over too easily and every time it falls it gets a new dent in the side of the seat. A child or an adult could easily be hurt. It hasnt hurt my tile floor, but it would ruin a wood floor. Today I noticed that two of the rivets that hold the seat on have broken off. I would not recommend this stool for any purpose. It looks good right out of the box, but it is cheaply made. |

Disappointed! |
| I looked everywhere for the perfect island stools for our 1920s era kitchen and was thrilled to find these. I puchased four about 1 year ago, and they are already coming apart. Like another review stated, the welds are coming undone. I enjoy looking at the catalog items, but I am not sure I plan to buy anymore... |

Mixed Thoughts... |
| Loved these online, so I bought 4 for our kitchen island. I immediately took a palm sander to age them further--looks awesome with more grey steel showing through. I agree with others, however, that they are not that comfortable...or safe! My four-year-old has fallen multiple times--almost cracking our floor tiles. This is most likely due to the 3 legs. I bet the four-legged version is more balanced/safe but werent available 18 mos. ago. My husband cant stand them, but Im more about aesthetics, so I like, not love, them! |

Falling apart in less than a year |
| I love the look of these stools and had been happy for the 9 months I had them until yesterday. These stools are used every day, one in particular as it sits at my kitchen counter where my laptop is. Last night one of the stools started coming apart! The materials used to weld the 3 legs to the cap I dont know what to call it crack easily and flake off. It seems that some sort of composite was used to hold all of the pieces of this stool together and the thy stools werent meant for daily use. Whats the point in that? Im SO disappointed. Why didnt the manufacturer just weld the legs in place? |

Nice but not very practical |
| After extensively searchng for industrial style stools for our rustic farmhouse kitchen, we chose three of these from Wisteria. I sometimes go for style over comfort, but in this case, the stools are not comfortable at all. The diameter of the seat is too small, and your feet dont touch the ground & dangle awkwardly when sitting. When the stool spirals up to allow for counter-height seating, the stool is almost fully extended and the seat rocks back & forth. Im not one to usually complain, but these are not designed for comfort at all...They seem very petite and Im not a large person by any means. Unfortunately we will be returning these. Wonder how much shipping will be. ugh! |

pretty to look at, but no footrest and VERY uncomfortable |
| I just took my stool out of the box. Its heavy and sturdy and will look great in my French kitchen. BUT....its very uncomfortable, and I plan to use it at my computer station in the kitchen. Not only is the seat uncomfortable to sit on, theres not really a comfortable footrest on the lower portion, a feature that most barstools offer, and your legs just kind of hang there until they fall asleep. Im considering returning it. Its very disappointing, as I have been so looking forward to receiving this stool. |

Love them! |
| These stools are very sturdy! The style is just what I needed to break up my overly wooded house-wood floors, cabinets, tables, etc. I love the rustic, handmade nature of them and couldnt be happier with my purchase. |

good quality for the price |
| I recently received the 2 stools I ordered and I feel that they are well made for the price. Heavy enough to feel substantial but not so heavy that they can not be easily lifted. The seat does not wobble when you sit on it - which was my fear. And the welding is done well.
The style didnt work with my interior, but overall I thought these were a good buy. May use them in a different room. |
