Set of 2 50's Retro Nostalgic Style Rose Finish Bar Stools Review

We bought a pair of these (with black seats) to go with the patio bar-height table. They look good and appear to be fairly sturdy. I would have rated them better but some of the details are a bit shoddy. Example: the little plastic do-hinkies that are hammered into the tubes to terminate the back rail are cheap, hard plastic and have some sharp edges exposed. Also the assembly is difficult because of manufacturing inprecision (thanks, China).

NOW A TIP. IF YOU BUY THEM, I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU MODIFY THE ASSEMBLY STEPS AS DETAILED BELOW.

First, the why: One of the two leg pieces of tubed sheet metal is fitted into a notch over the other, making an "X" if you look down at the assembly from above. Then each leg is screwed to a tubed sheet-metal ring about a foot off the floor to stablize the assembly. The problem is, the precision-tooled steel seat-swivel mechanism attaches to the top of the leg assembly and the fit between the two is somewhat dodgy. It takes some pulling the leg assembly this way and that to line up the holes, and then, at least one of the bolts may have to go in at a very slight angle because the swivel piece's holes are drilled ever so slightly too close together vis-a-vis the holes in the leg assembly below (a round metal rasp may help).

Now, the what: the instructions direct you to screw the seat frame to the swivel piece and THEN screw them to the leg assembly. DO NOT DO THIS. You will need the airspace above the swivel mechanism clear in order to wrestle it into place and screw it to the leg assembly. Put the swivel mechanism onto the leg assembly first. ALSO, when you screw the legs on to the tubed ring, keep the connections VERY loose until the swivel mechanism is bolted in place. THEN tighten them. Once the thing is all together from the swivel mechanism down, the seat frame can be attached easily, as it is a precision-welded piece and the bolt holes align easily with the swivel assembly.
