Winsome 20084 Satori Stool, 24", Black

I received it with 3 Lefts legs and only one right leg!

Nice hardwood material, well written-instructions, easy assembly. Allen key included, though it was stripped by the time I was done tightening those large screws; on the plus side it had an extra long handle that gave me much better leverage. You may want to use something better than a disposable if you have it, it will make assembly easier. I tried a ratchet screwdriver with a Torx 25 bit (fitted nicely) but the leverage was not there and it made the job harder. Stool is sturdy, adding a dab of glue at connections would not make it much sturdier. Makes sure to assemble LOOSE first, and only tighten once all the parts are connected, or you may have issues. When doing the lateral bars/footrests, make sure the tenon is fully inserted before calling it "done" - some had some slack and tended to slip out, giving a false impression the screw was as tight as possible (it wasn't). Otherwise, a nice kit, an hours project, and a piece of furniture that looks like it will last quite a while.

Muy buena calidad de madera y súper estética

I just got this stool, but I always forget to write reviews, so I figured I'd go ahead and review it as far as I can thus far. I really like the look of this stool. It looks more expensive than I the actual cost. The stool I recieved DID have a defect in the seat portion; it looks like a section of the wood was gouged somehow, and it was painted over rather than being sanded down. It does not affect the function of the stool, however, and I did not notice it until I ran my hand over the top. The assembly was a breeze. It took me less than 15 minutes to fully assemble, with only an over-excited 5 year old to help, plus an autistic 3 year old, angry 2 year old, and pesky 7 month old to make assembly more interesting. The directions were easy to understand, and it required no tools other than the allen wrench that came with the product. I do recommend using some carpenter's glue to secure the screw covers, as mine simply will not stay in the holes. That's my only complaint about the assembly. Once assembled, everyone tried it out, and the verdict(s) is(are): 5yo: It kinda hurts to climb up on with bare feet. 3yo: I like being so high up in da sky. 2yo: I need help, Mama! Me: It appears sturdy, with no apparent wobble or creakiness. Husband: It's fine. I don't know why you thought we needed a stool. Which brings me to my final point, the weight limit. My husband is not overweight, but at just over 6 feet tall, comes to close to the weight limit for his comfort. I don't see it listed in the product description, but a label on the underside of the stool's seat warns that it can only hold 220 lbs. Not an issue for me, but I imagine there are plenty of people who might consider ordering this stool for whom that would be a deterrent. To sum it up, for a good price, you're getting a nice looking stool that is easy to assemble, might need some wood glue, and holds a smaller amount of weight than I had expected (though to be honest, I'm not really a stool-weight-limit expert, so this might be a very appropriate limit.)

When I first opened the box and pulled out the saddle seat I was very impressed. Its sturdy high quality wood with a tag from indonesia. All of my wooden indonesian furniture (mostly from world market) is super durable, and looks great even through many moves, so I was happy to see this. I purchased 2 stools and assembly of the first one was a beast! As many reviewers have noted, the provided allen wrench is awful - luckily i had a sturdier one - but the screw holes were not properly seeded making it very difficult to assemble. Finally got it done - but one of the attached wooden nails split the stool unfortunately wobbles... which concerns me in terms of durability. For the second stool I used a ratchet driver instead of an allen wrench and followed step instructions i found for this product on you tube (rather than the step instructions provided) and it went MUCH smoother. This bench turned out great. No spilt wood nails or wobbles. I wish the 1st stool had gone as smoothly and turned out as well - but they do look lovely. I hope they both last. I really think the 2nd one will - not sure about the 1st one bc of the assembly difficulty and wobble (?) Overall can't beat the price for this style and quality so I'm glad i purchased.

Shipping was faster than I expected since this didn't come from an Amazon warehouse. Arrived in great shape and was relatively easy to put together by myself. It looks great all said and done and is perfect tucked under the open "90's desk" area in my kitchen!
