Almost just right…
on October 10, 2025
Posted by: Kim
I was pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness of these stools. I bought 4. The seat area is large and that makes them comfortable even though we are not large people.
I am only giving 4 stars because on the corners the paint is inconsistent and missing layers. You don’t notice unless you specifically look at the corners. But it’s in plain sight. Also, I have a real walnut table. This “walnut” stain clashes with real walnut. It’s not the right tone at all. I really wish I would have ordered black, as they would have complimented my counter height table better instead of clashing. I put them at my counter.
Would I recommend these? Yes. Be cautious of your color pick. I do absolutely LOVE the metal plate on the foot bar.

I ordered the blonde counter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the blonde counter stool by Smythe and they are beautiful! Everyone loves them - the comfort, quality look, and the brass foot rest. I had ordered 2 other sets and returned them before finding these perfect stools for my kitchen peninsula.
