Boraam Augusta Counter Height Swivel Stool, 24-Inch, 1-Pack, Cherry

We ordered the extra tall bar stools which are the perfect height for our counter. They were easy to put together and are very solid and sturdy. The only issue is the seat is a little small and puffy but I think once it gets some use it will form fit better. The color is like a rich cherry wood. They swivel and have a foot rest. Good value for the money.

This stool is excellent quality and is a GREAT value. I am a finicky customer who has been a product guy for most of his career, so I don't say this lightly. I am so impressed that I am writing a detailed review for those that want the details. To be precise, I would give this product 4-1/2 stars if it were possible, but I am rounding up to 5 rather than down to 4.Packaging- as others have noted, the packaging is exemplary. and explains why each piece arrived in perfect condition. It takes 15 minutes to completely unpack everything and lay it out for assembly. It's worth every minute! Others have complained that they couldn't find the hardware. My boxes arrived with a red plastic tag on the outside of the box labeled "hardware" and when you open the box you realize that tag is connected to the hardware package. Clearly, they listened to the feedback and made it painfully obvious where the hardware is.Wood and Finish- While the description calls this "cherry" finish I would describe it as a medium mahogany color. The wood itself appears to be some kind of Asian mahogany such as luan (Phillipino mahogany). The color goes very well with my medium cherry cabinets and Brazilian cherry floor.I am a woodworker and am very impressed with the finish. It is a satin finish, and examining all of the pieces of three stools, it is damn near perfect in any area that shows.Construction- all of the pieces fit together very well. Every bolt engages with a metal threaded insert. You will not be driving any wood screws. All of the bolts are Allen screws so you can crank them good and tight. The foot rest is sturdy, not a flimsy piece of wood. Just the same, I wouldn't stand on it.As I was assembling the first one, I noticed that the swivel was a bit stiff. Rest assured that once assembled and with your weight on it, the stool swivels readily. I'm going to guess that they made it a little tight so kids wouldn't spin on it Probably some do-gooder in Washington mandated that so kids couldn't have fun. ;-)Assembly- the instructions are sufficient but not elaborate. And I might add, they are only helpful if you look them over before beginning assembly. Naturally, I did not do that before assembling my first stool. The most important lesson learned from that is that it really does matter that you assemble these in the order of the steps outlined.The assembly steps are, 1) attach the four legs to the foot rest, 2) attach the "apron" (ring below the seat), (note that the instructions present the preceding two steps as one step), 3) attach back to seat, 4) attach assembled seat to swivel mount. The bolts are very clearly labeled as are the washers, and an Allen wrench is included. Here are a few notes and tips:1. All bolts are installed with flat washers. All bolts also use lock washers EXCEPT for the final four that attach the seat to the swivel.2. If you don't follow the recommended order, you will find it very awkward to get at some of the bolts.3. First assemble the legs and two rings FINGER TIGHT. A very common mistake is to snug each bolt as you install it and then complain that things don't line up. Once the legs and the rings are loosely assembled, set the unit on a flat surface (I used my granite kitchen island) and then tighten. I recommend you tighten the seat ring first, and then foot rest.4. The Allen wrench has a ball tip on one end- this is a great feature for turning the bolt head from an angle when necessary, until the final half turn of tightening.5. I put an old towel down on my counter so nothing would get scratched.6. The bolts and washers are oily when they come out of the package. I would have a rag handy to wipe them off while you assemble.7. I found it helpful to use my metric Allen wrench set (shown as it provides a great handle and also can be bent 90 degrees.8. The bottom of the seat back where it attaches to the seat is a slightly wider arc than the seat base. You might be concerned about a gap when you first line them up. Start all six bolts, and then snug up the center first before the outside bolts. As you tighten you will see it pull the center of the seat back closer to the seat bottom until it is flush. Then tighten the outside bolts.The assembled unit is very attractive and looks like it could have cost double or more. The seat cushion itself is on the firm side. I have very little padding on my back side (!) so I would have preferred a bit more padding on the seat. The seat back is VERY comfortable.Although these are proper counter height, I would have preferred if they were an inch or two taller. I measured the under-counter clearance and it is pretty much as it should be. But I'm on the shorter side, so I would have preferred sitting slightly higher. Bar height stools would have been too tall.To sum up, if you like the look of these, go for it. I am deeply impressed with the quality and the value they represent. If anything changes, I'll come back and update this review. Here are a few pictures to give you a better idea.

I ordered these stools after searching locally and online for a reasonably priced bar stool that asthetically looked great along with reasonable quality for the price. I made the decision to buy six of these stools but was cautiously optimistic after reading the reviews regarding damaged stools, color variability and lack of appropriate hardware etc... So I took a few steps after receiving and during the assembly to ensure everything met my expectations. First, there is a date of manufacture on each box. Even though I received three separate shipments, each one was manufactured in December 2014. Next I carefully unpacked and checked to ensure color was a match. Next I carefully inspected each piece for damage looking for cracks or broken pieces. Do this without destroying the packaging just in case it needs to go back in th box. Happy to report not one piece was damaged and the appropriate hardware was included. After unpacking, I staged an area for two stools at a time. I then took each bolt and placed the locking nut and washer as described in the instructions ( which were perfectly clear enough to understand). Do this in advance so that you are not scambling around looking for the right bolt, nut and washer. Being that some people complained about bolts coming loose over time, I chose to purchase a couple of tubes of LOCK-TIGHT and added a small amount to each bolt prior to using. I highly suggest when assembling the legs to foot ring and seating base, DO NOT TIGHTEN! Leave them a little less than finger tight until all 16 bolts are in place. Stool should feel very woobly at this point. This helps with alignment issues that many of you may have had getting bolts into the holes. Next, put the base on a smooth level surface and then tighten. This is critical because if you tighten while on carpet or uneven surface, it will tighten in an out of level position and the stool will wobble. You need to make sure to move quickly during this step as the LOCK Tight will start to set up quickly so you should try to have this completed in 15-20 min and do not stop until you complete this step. Another reason to have all of the bolts ready to go.Once this is completed, attached the stool back to the seat following the guidelines above. Use Lock-Tight on each bolt, and again, do not tighten until each bolt is in place and of course DONOT OVER TIGHTEN!Once this is complete, attach the base to the seat using the four bolts provided. Again, use the LockTight on each bolt. This is the only tricky part of the assembly. The four bolt holes only line up in one way so make sure that the stool is positioned so that each bolt hole is aligned before you start putting the bolts in places. Additionally, you have to rotate the stool so that you can screw the bolt in easily. That means, you will have to rotate the stool around as there seems to be only one position where you can get easy access to installing the bolt and being able to tighten. I have to admit, this was a little frustrating but not impossible or that hard. I just had to figure this out on my own so hopefully this will help the rest of you out.Overall, I am very happy with the stools. I gave them FIVE STARS for price value and for the simple fact that I did not have one issue They look awesome and feel very solid/sturdy without any significant wobble etc... You can't beat the $80 price for each stool (when you order the two pack). If you are wanting a true $500 stool, this will probably not meet your expectation but for the price, you can't beat it!I hope this was helpful and I will update once we get some wear and tear on them in a few months. Good Luck!

The only problem with one of the 2 chairs is the stain on one side is missing or spotty. See picture showing area of concern and the other side is good. Otherwise, the chairs are comfortable, sturdy, and look nice.

These stools are well built and easy to assemble, they look great .

I have very high counter tops in my kitchen. When I bought bar stools 9 years ago I had no problem findinghigh bar stools. Last year my bar stools were looking shabby and so I began my search. I never thought it would take a year to find bar stools. I have had many bar stools delivered to me and most of them either looked cheap (but the price was not) or putting them together was a nightmare because nothing fit, my husband was so frustrated putting a bar stool together and then having to take it apart to send it back.These bar stools are just beautiful! The right height, easy to put together, comfortable to sit in, well made.They are perfect. If you need bar stools for a high counter top, these are the perfect ones to buy. This company makes great bar stools and their customer service is great too.

These counter stools are attractive, very sturdy, and go perfectly in our kitchen. They come in several pieces: some assembly required. They are exactly as described, well made, and a very good buy.

Good quality product!

Love these counter stools. Bought 3. They're very sturdy, swivel nicely and look great!

I ordered four of these chairs. Amazon had the best pricing, so I took the plunge -- even though I was a bit nervous by some of the reviews (damaged goods or poor quality). I am happy to report that all four of my chairs arrived in perfect condition, with no blemishes at all. As far as I'm concerned, these swivel stools are unbeatable for the price. Hopefully they will stand up over time.Assembling them is super easy. After the first one you get the hang of it and the others will go together without having to look at the instructions. The assembly is based entirely on bolts, lock washers and washers. So pretty straightforward. The main thing to keep in mind is to leave the foot ring bolts a little loose (noted on the instruction sheet) and only tighten them as the very last step. Do this on a flat floor so you can ensure the legs are even.The most "challenging" part is when you put the back of the chair onto the padded seat. This is because it's a semi-circle, so some of the screws can bind a little if you're not careful. Leave them all fairly loose until you get all six into place and then begin tightening them equally back and forth. This will ensure the pieces come together with the least amount of binding pressure.All in all I would recommend these stools. They are extremely well packaged. One final tip to make things go faster. Before you put any bolts in, separate all the bolts into groups and add all the washers onto the bolts in the proper order. Then, it's really quick to put it all together.

Estan muy buenos
