Boraam Torino Counter Height Wood Kitchen Bar Stool - Carbonite Finish

We bought 8 of these for out outdoor living area. We'd tried another stool that we liked the looks better, but had a flat bottom and wasn't very comfortable to sit on. These have a curved bottom that are much more comfortable to sit on. Though these aren't meant for outside, since we've a covered area with 1 1/2/ walls open, I'm hoping these do well, in a partially indoor area. They're made with Acadia wood which is supposed to good for building outdoor furniture. Again, not that these chairs themselves are meant for outdoors (I don't expect these ever to get wet), but since it will be exposed to critters, I'm hoping it'll keep insect damage away. Oh, and the Acadia I think is what keeps the price low on this chair.Note, my wife did get a splinter. The wire-brush finish does make this more likely.Assembly could be tedious. I'd actually bought a 90 degree extension for my drill from the reading I did from others. I didn't end up using it, as I could get drill in just fine. What's really necessary is to have a long socket extension so you can get the allen wrench as near as parallel as you can with the fastener. I ended up piecing things together with my driver set, but if you buy 2 chairs, I would consider cutting 1 of the 2 wrenches so you could chuck it and use your drill/driver. I could see where doing all these by hand could get tedious.

bought these stools in april, one month later, the seat is literally coming apart! it looks like an accordian! all the many layers of wood that are sandwiched together to form the seat are all coming apart!!!! they look horrible! i was so excited by the look when i received them! but now they are gross and look like they are 50 years old and pulled out from a barn! dont waste your money! the seller says to return them, but how? the boxes are long gone...

I had great apprehension ordering these based on the reviews, the product was however great. No issues and easy to install with an electric drill. I think the installation would be tedious with the manual wrench given, but I used an electric drill and it took 5 minutes per chair. Color is rich and natural. Great product overall. Could be coastal, could be industrial, could be shabby chic, could even be modern.

I was hesitant to order one of these because of the low ratings. I decided to roll the dice and I ordered one. It was a little difficult to assemble. The screws are time consuming and can be frustrating. However, if you’ve assembled IKEA furniture, you shouldn’t have too much of an issue assembling one of these. Overall I’m pleased with the quality and look of the stool. I’ve orders three more to go at our bar.

I absolutely love these! WARNING: you have to make sure the top side bars have the bigger hole facing down!

Sturdy, nice neutral ashy brown color and with a seat cushion they’re really comfy :) love them
