I waited forever to order these stools. They looked fantastic online and just the feeling I wanted for our eating area. They came today. OMG, One of the seats was off center and not fully or carefully attached to the frame. One of the stools squeaked and heaven only knows if my husband (who has never failed to fix anything in his entire life) can bring them back to serviceable condition. There is half inch gap between the metal surround the wood seat which I do not know can be fixed unless a person takes off the entire seat and reconstructs it. It would need a welder to do it. I really want to use swear words here. The seats are fir and pretty rough. I thought (before I saw the rest of stool) that I would put a few coats of urethane to keep splinters from slicing into our bodies. I am extremely hostile over this. But, if you like a challenge, go ahead and buy them. I have always, always been happy with my overstock.com purchases before but this is not one of those times.
I bought this chair as an office desk chair and love it. It works very well with my decor and is comfortable as well. I'm not sure about the comfort for heavier people as I am a 128 lb woman, but I've had no problems with sagging, etc. The color of this chair is a little more in the grey hues for natural linen, which I took into account when reading other reviews but worked perfectly for me. I would definitely recommend this chair as an office chair or even casual "breakfast room type" dining chair.
Handsome looking bar stools that look terrific in our living room but there is one problem, anyone over 50 lbs. sitting on one will hear a loud cracking sound as the supports under the seat cracks through. This has happened to two of the three stools that we have received.
I love the table top for this set; it is one piece and very sturdy. The round base comes in four pieces with have to be assembled. The only downside to this set is that the chairs are not of very high quality. Two of the chairs that arrived in my set, when assembled were wobbly. Since I was moving into a new home and had to store my new dining set for a couple of weeks prior to assembly, Overstock would not replace my chairs due to the fact that I was three days over my return date which was extremely disappointing, but otherwise this table is a good value and looks beautiful.
I absolutely love the Mackenzie dining set. I was hesitant to order such a large item online, having never done so. The shipping time was one week plus the price was excellent. The table legs had some marks in the finish and customer service was on it instantly. I received e mails daily on the disposition of my replacement parts. "Angie" was such a pleasure to work with on my problem. I will definitely continue to order from "Overstock", bbfrompa
