nice stools, good priceMarcWe got These stools for our new bar, after looking at many others. Would have preferred ones that pivot, but reviews for many of those we found were not great, especially considering the prices. These went together easily and feel quite sturdy. Quite happy with them, and the price was great.5
WobblySHANNANThe screws in the legs do not screw in all of the way. The legs are wobbly because of poor attachment.3
Excellent stoolMichaelShopped around multiple sites and stores and found the Ekedalen at IKEA. Super sturdy available in 2 heights, and the price was perfect.5
difficultBrucehoFound it very difficult to attach cushion seat to frame and very inconvenient to need a tool for assembly that I did not have.4
Looks great, fits nicely under the bar counterVicki707I purchase 2 of these about a month ago to see if they would work at our bar height counter. They meet our needs perfectly. I will be ordering more.4
Great value for a high bar chairChiPoliticoBought four of these for our exceptionally high kitchen bar. They look great and match well other IKEA chairs that we have for the dining room. Assembly was a breeze. Sturdy and comfortable.5
ALV70Good, sturdy chair. Need a little bit of muscle to assemble properly.5
Great look and great to sit onNick Name 86Really happy with the pair I bought. Bit of a pain to put together, otherwise great. I plan to buy a matching table and chairs for my kitchen.5
Great, but some crossbar install issuesNickname27I’m glad to finally have tall and stable bar stools that match my dining room set, but there were a couple issues installing the crossbars that go from the front legs to the back legs. You essentially cannot install them in the wrong direction, which is great, but I think the manufacturing needs a touch of extra focus. First of all, a minor point on the lower crossbars: unlike the 10mm and 8mm dowels on the top crossbars, some of the round ends of the bottom crossbars were oversized possibly from extra finish getting sprayed on the round bit. It took quite a bit of force in one or two cases. In contrast the skinny oval ends were not a snug fit while the wider oval ends were great. The real issues weren’t from getting them in, but keeping them in. On one stool a screw really wanted the crossbar to be a bit out of it’s seating instead of flush with the leg, and I had to back the screw out then clamp the pieces together to keep everything flush while tightening. After that I clamped the pieces together for every crossbar screw install (thankfully I had a bar clamp long enough to go from the front leg to the back). On the second stool, despite clamping, one of the crossbar screws stripped the wood out of the leg... maybe some wobble during manufacturing left an overly large pre-drilled hole? A couple toothpick ends covered in wood glue and put into the stripped hole allowed the screw to get a good bite that should last, but it was a bit of extra work.4
