The chairs are simply beautiful in appearance the only problem I have is the height adjustment bar is not working on two of the chairs. There is a flaw in the assembly of the chairs, only one had the opening needed to assemble correctly. Otherwise I love the chairs, they just have to be left at one level.

These stools are my first disappointment from Overstock. Our bar is tall so we use them at their full extension. That may be the problem; they seem underengineered for the height. They were fine at first, if rather uncomfortable (one tends to slide off and short people cant reach the foot brace.) But after less than six months they began to develop squeaks, squeals, and alarming wobbles that no amount of adjustment can correct. Basically, they are top heavy; the pedestal can't support the weight of the stool and the occupant. They topple. It's too late to return them but maybe this will prevent someone else from making the same mistake

Just purchased these a few weeks ago and absolutely love them. Constructed of very nice, high-grade leather and a pretty heavy duty chrome stand and base. I was shocked when I first took them out of the box; they look and feel like bar stools that should cost at least $300 each, no joke. Assembly is a breeze; 4 screws into the bottom of the seat and you're pretty much done. The diameter of the base has been increased, so it is very stable and there are no more tipping over issues, so you can disregard previous reviews griping about that (thanks for listening Overstock.com). Also, I haven't had any problems whatsoever with the hydraulic adjustment on the chair, works like a charm, but again, I've had these chairs for about 3 weeks, so I can't vouch for its long-term operation, but I'm not worried about it in the slightest. Bottom line: these are high-quality, stable, and very stylish bar stools at an unbeatable price...get 1...or 5!

2 concerns, 1. stool tips over slightly when getting off quickly. 2. screws that attaches the cushion to the leg, a wee bit short (1") ,1 1/2" would be ideal. Shipping was fast by Overstock. Unwraping took longer than assembly.

The black leather chicago bar stools are great looking. However, I am so disappointed that the hydraulic mechanism does not work on either of the two bar stools I purchased.

I ordered three of the Chicago Leather Barstools to go around a built in bar in my kitchen. They arrived promptly and were well packaged. After some slight difficulty getting the first barstool assembled, the next two were easy! They are very comfortable, attractive, not at all wobbly. Basically exactly what I was looking for, and I shopped for some time before making my selection. I have no regrets about the purchase, and I'm happy to have them.

I purchased one of these stoolsto make sure they looked good and that the quality was good. I liked the first one so much, I bought a second stool 2 weeks later. The only issue I had with the stool... I think the footrest should be located a little higher. Looks great! Feels comfortable!

The chairs were as promised, on time and in excellent condition. They were not difficult to assemble. They look great. The only concern is the base and being a little "tipsy". I larger, heavier base would be just the thing to make the chair more secure. Otherwise, I am very pleased. They look great, and when seated are very comfortable.

The stools are very nice. The leather is really good quality. The chairs were pretty easy to assemble. However, a few times I had to take the stools apart and put together again because something was out of line and caused problems.

These barstools look great and compliment the black and stainless color scheme in my kitchen. My husband had no trouble assembling them. However, the seat adjustment levers could not be placed in the same position on all of the stools depending on how tight the screws were turned. This could not be determined until after the assembly was complete and you sat on them. Because of the shape of the stools, there is a tendancy to slide in the seat. I think this will go away after they are used and broken in. I really like the barstools and would recommend them to my friends and family,

4 screws, one page of directions, and an overall great value. They are sturdy and made of high quality leather.

Beautiful, nice quality. I have a bad back so was looking for something supportive. This is not really it. It looks great though and good for short sits, not exactly something I could sit in for hours..

The stools arrived in good order. The stools were easy to assemble. The stools are attractive and fit with the style of our bar exactly as we had hoped.

These chairs are just lovely! The adjustable height and swivel are two things in combo that are hard to find. I am enjoying them and will save up for two more when I can.

I purchased 2 of these barstools without much comparison shopping and then went to see if I had made a good deal. After researching stools with the same features: hydrolaulic height adjustment, swivel, leather, back support, and comfort; I immediately came back to overstock and ordered 2 more. This is an incredible value offered at a steal. I was worried about ease of assembly until they arrived. They were wrapped very securely and actually took longer to unpack than to put together. I haven't had any problems with stability as has been reported in earlier reviews, but I saw where the base was correctively widened, and the stools I received have a base that is very safe and stable. The stools are extremely attractive and incredibly comfortable. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

I bought these bar stools after shopping around extensively, both online and in retail stores. I was looking for leather upholstered, back-support, height adjustable and swivel seat. So that put most stools way out of my price range. These stools were the only ones that had everything I wanted in my price range. They are aesthetically pleasing & match my bar perfectly. However, they are a little unstable when the seat height is adjusted to/near the maximum height. This is especially true if the person is short and can't easily touch the ground. The stool almost fell over when one of my friends (5' 4") tried to get off. Everyone has said the stool is comfortable. I didn't think so, but since I'll be behind the bar and never sit on the stools, that doesn't matter. I would recommend this bar stool. However, I'd also recommend getting a foot rail for your bar, which I am in the process of doing now.

The stools look as sharp as they do online, the only problem I have with them is that the base is so light! If you jump down from it too quickly you could tip the thing over... but they look and work well.
