BIG RED Torin Swivel Bar Stool: Padded Garage/Shop Seat with Chrome Plated Legs, Black, 28.74" Tall, 18.5" Diameter

Excellent chair easy to put together

Super cushy.

Instructions are lacking the information to put it together. You will have to figure it out yourself. Parts re all there and fit well, in the instructions, between #2 and #3 they are missing a step. Attach the swivel to the legs before mounting the swivel to the seat. Placing the seat upside down on the floor or table. The screws for this step are already on the bottom of the seat. Good luck.

It’s super comfortable to sit on. You don’t want to get off it. Just sit on it before putting your foot on the rest.

Frame is strong and well built. Had to replace the foam after it went flat and was pretty hard and uncomfortable. Kept it for the frame.

Right away, as others have noted, the seat is not leather, says right on front of box "Commercial Grade Vinyl", padding is fine, it does give in, but is comfortable and rebounds after use.To the people complaining about assembly, I never even opened the instruction booklet, it was very intuitive to me how it was to go together. Here are some tips and steps I followed to make assembly as easy as possible (You will need a #3 Phillips head screwdriver and 10 mm box end or open end wrench) -1. If you have a workbench or other elevated surface, start assembly near it2. Remove all items from box, remove plastic covering from everything.3. Lean the legs against your workbench or surface, put seat upside down on bench, leave swivel mechanism on bench4. Unpack bolts, nuts and washers, sort them out in matching sets, 4 shorter bolts with washer and nuts, 4 longer bolts with washers and nuts, one countersunk head bolt with washer and nut5. The countersunk head bolt is what you will use to assemble the 2 leg pieces together. Put the leg set with flat spot in center under the other leg set at 90 degree angle. The top leg set should have a countersunk hole, put the countersunk head bolt in the hole, put washer and nut on other end and tighten, tighten fully as you will not be able to get to the head later.6. Now take the swivel assembly and rotate top so it resembles a 6 pointed star when looking at it from above, this will allow access to the bolts to assemble to both legs and seat7. Set the swivel assembly on top of the legs you just assembled (don't put leg ring on yet, wait!)8. Using the 4 shorter bolts, drop them through the slots on the swivel plate through the holes on the top of the leg assembly. After all 4 bolts are though, put the washers and nuts on other end, hand tighten9. Now, with the leg assembly standing up, drop the foot rest ring over the legs, pay attention to line up the holes in the ring with the legs. Push it into approximate position.10. Now lay the assembly down horizontally, position yourself at the bottom of the leg assembly, pull the ring into place to line up hole in ring with hole in leg by sight, now drop one of the longer bolts though both holes, make sure it goes through the foot rest and the leg. Do this for the remaining 3 holes in the foot rest.11. Now stand the stool back up, put washers and nuts on all 4 bolts, now tighten the bolts fully.12. Go back and fully tighten the bolts on the swivel assembly.13. With seat face down on bench, remove the 4 countersunk screw bolts from seat14. Set leg assembly on top of seat, line up holes in top part of swivel assembly with holes in seat, put one bolt in a time, hand tighten. Once all bolts are through swivel assembly, tighten fully.That is it, sounds like a lot, but it goes very quickly if you have proper #3 Phillips screw driver and 10 mm wrench.Took me no more than 20 minutes from opening box, unwrapping parts and full assembly.Hope this helps others.

This is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to put together.I ordered this stool for my workshop. I built the workbench it was going to be used at using my own plans. I've put together swingsets and dozens of pieces of furniture over the years and have built handmade desks for my kids, custom shelving for my storage closet, and a built-in folding table and shelving system for our laundry room. I know how to build stuff. This thing was awful.The big problem is that none of the screw holes would line up. They were slightly off on each leg and therefore required a lot of flexing to get it into place. The chrome plating was really cheap and flaked off everywhere. I had to use a magnet to pick up all the little pieces (I had originally started putting it together in my living room after it arrived in the mail). Some of the pieces were big too. Whole chunks about an inch long were popping off along with the little flakes. I wrestled with this thing for nearly two hours and it only has 9 screws! I was flabbergasted. I've never been so frustrated putting something together.For what it's worth, the metal seems sturdy and the seat itself swivels well and seems comfortable and is the perfect height for my custom-built workbench. But all I could think of the entire time I was wrestling with it was how much I hated that stool and how I was going to give it a rare 1-star review. If you look at my history, it's extremely rare for me to rate something this low. But even with the simple construction, they still couldn't get it right. There's no excuse for that.Now I have a derpy looking chair with mangled legs and chunks of missing chrome, but it gets the job done in my workshop. I still hate it every time I look at it because it brings up the PTSD from putting it together. I strained my right wrist and pulled a tendon or something in my right elbow, which has never happened to me before and felt really weird and not good. I've since tried hammering the legs out with a rubber mallet to get them looking less weird, but when I straighten things back out it wobbles horribly because of the misalignment. So I either have to live with it looking dumb, or suffer with a bad wobble. For now I'm going for function over form. I'd have drilled new holes myself, but they were just off enough that I'm not sure if I could have put in another hole without compromising the strength of it, but far enough out of alignment that it took a massive effort to get it to work. Flesh against steel. Apparently I need to learn how to weld.If this company has any decency about them, they'd send a replacement unit. But part of me really doesn't want to go through the assembly process again. I imagine it wouldn't be so bad if the parts weren't defective, but who knows what I might get.

This is a nice sturdy stool. Extremely easy to assemble, honestly not sure why instructions were even included (BTW, there's a video in the product pictures!!!) Nice thick padding, swivel mount is exactly the same as commercially available boat seat swivels. I just ordered another and assembled it in less than 10 minutes. Alot of whining on these stools, they are $50. If it's too tall for you take a hacksaw, sawzall or grinder and shorten the legs, stick the feet back on. If it wobbles (as mine both did) pull off the feet, add a few 3/8" washers here and there, put the feet back on. If you aren't mechanically inclined, don't buy things that require assembly. These stools were not rocket science to assemble. They are comfortable and sturdy enough to use as a self defense weapon if the need ever arrives!
