KEIRA BLACK PU BAR STOOL (SET OF 2)

I scrambled to get these in time for a weekend project, and while the smooth faux leather feels surprisingly soft and hugs your lower back well, the seat padding is a bit stiff after sitting for a couple of hours.

Bought these as a housewarming gift for my brother's kitchen.

I bought this set of Keira black PU bar stools as a housewarming gift for my sister, but the moment we unpacked them, they looked completely out of place in her kitchen. The black faux leather has an unnaturally glossy, plasticky finish that catches the light in the worst way, making the whole island area look cheap instead of modern.

The seat cushion is thick and incredibly soft against your back, giving me a rock-solid, comfortable spot to rest during late-night nursery prep with the baby.

After three weeks of daily use, the flimsy cushion flattened completely, leaving me sitting straight on hard metal that numbs my legs and aches my lower back after just twenty minutes.

I needed these stools in a pinch for a party this weekend, and they arrived super fast and were incredibly easy to put together.

Honestly, I was a bit nervous ordering these stools for my sister's new apartment without seeing them first, but they turned out to be a total home run. They have this really cool mid-century look, and the black PU leather looks and feels super high-end without being a pain to wipe down. Putting them together was surprisingly straightforward, and they feel incredibly sturdy and comfortable when you sit on them. She uses them daily at her kitchen island, and everyone who visits ends up asking where she got them. Definitely worth every penny.

After getting completely fed up with the wobbly, fifty-dollar stools we had before, I decided to spend a bit more on these thinking they would actually look decent around our kitchen island. Boy, was I wrong. The moment I set them up next to our warm oak cabinets, they looked incredibly cheap. Under our overhead pendant lights, that faux leather has this weird, shiny plastic glare that makes the whole bar area look like a tacky fast-food joint rather than a home. The black finish looks super artificial, and the stitching is so unevenly spaced that it draws your eyes right to it every time you walk into the room. Honestly, my old budget ones looked far more natural in the space, whereas these just stick out like a sore thumb.

We recently moved into a larger house and needed to furnish a new breakfast bar. These stools have been a wonderful addition. The cushioning is thick and has a nice, supportive bounce that doesn't just sink to the frame when you sit down. The material is very soft against your skin, and the curved back supports your spine in a really relaxing way, making them comfortable to sit in for long stretches.
