Comment on Set of 2 Contemporary Style Cappuccino Finish Bar Stools by P. GOKARN

The one star is deducted due to its delicate pegs. You have to pay attention to the curves on the side bars during assembling as the instructions do not tell you which angle they go in. They just tell you that they need to go in. If it was not for the screws that came with it I would have returned these chairs the very day I opened it.

Once assembled they are really good. light enough that you can move it around and strong enought that me 190 Lbs and my pregnant wife 170 lbs could comfortably sit on it ( not together, lol). The screws are very tight so you might needs a power tool to be sure that they have been secured. Safety first.

I liked these chairs so much that I am planning to buy the smaller counter part of these bar stools for my dinning table. Stars: 4 / 5

color is dark brown, not almost black but dark dark brown. in sunlight has a tint of red to the wood. seats are darker than picture but still very neutral. sturdy and will be out to good use.

This is my first time ordering furniture online. I chose this little drop leaf table because of the decent reviews, and I'm glad I picked this model. Very substantial piece of furniture- once you put it all together! I am not a "handy" person, and if not for my dad's help, it would have taken me probably 2-3 hours to assemble. With his help, it took a little over an hour. The most time consuming part was having to tighten all screws using the little allen wrench that is included in the package. I had an extra one lying around the house but I wonder if things might've gone fast if we could have used an electric tool.

For those accustomned to the manuals that accompany our fancy electronic gadgetry, be prepared for the one sheet pictoral wonder that is the "manual" for this table. I personally wish all parts had been labeled with stickers but I might also be whining a bit.

The stools are very nice and sturdy and simplicity defined. I leave the drop leaf extended so it is a nice breakfast table for one, or a snack table for parties. The two pull drawers seem a bit extraneous to me, but if you use the table for paying the bills, they are nice for storing paper, envelopes, etc. There's even a bar on the side to hang towels, which I do not do since it looks a bit sloppy, but the bar is there if you need it.

I'm sorry I did not get to the best part until last- the quality of the wood! The package alone weighed 50 pounds, I think, definitely was a struggle carrying it. Call me silly but if this is not real wood, then it is very hig quality imitation. The color is light and matches my cabinets perfectly. Looks like it would be easy to stain or paint darker, too, if you choose. Stars: 4 / 5

Very compact and easy to use and move around in a small area. Chairs don’t fit inside too well because of poor wood cutouts. But for this price who can complain. It is real wood not the recycled Ikea stuff so it supports anything I have put on it.

My daughter has a small kitchen and limited counter space. This set fits perfectly in her kitchen and the kids love pulling out the bar stools and sitting at the table to eat their breakfast or do their homework. Mom can use it for extra counter top or because it is on wheels easily move it to the dining room where it could be used as a buffet when she has extra guests. This is the second table of this kind I have purchased as I have one for myself and sent one to NY for my daughter.

Assembly takes about an hour, and both of us GIRLS put it together with no problems. Has light blond colored wood and 2 little drawers and a towel bar. With light sanding it could be painted if color was not to your liking. Open it is a 30 x 30 table ( I am a sewer so I use it alot for cutting out fabric) and closed it fits nicely up to the wall as a 15 x 30 buffet.

Company was quick to deliver and answered emails promptly when an inquiry was made.

Very pleased and would by from this company again.

Comment on Before I spray paint a metal surface? by Ann S

Absolutely. Take a medium grit sandpaper and scuff it all up good. Usually they come with a clear coat and you want to give your new paint something to stick to. Take your time, spray a LIGHT i said LIGHT coat. It’s no good trying to cover it all up in one pass. A couple of light coats will give you a better finish. Make sure you take a fine sandpaper to it in between each coat (wont stick to a smooth surface very well)
You’re good to go. If you want to “shine” it up, take some clear poly to it (you can get a many different glosses in a spray can these days.)
