Important Instructions. Read this or your stool will not work.
Some things you NEED TO KNOW!!! The instructions do not tell you that you HAVE TO REMOVE the plastic insert from the part that slides over the pedestal. You can see this piece in pic 3. It blocks the adjustment lever from contacting the button that allowes adjustment of the pedestal height.
Turn the piece that bolts to the seat bottom so that it is right side up. You can see the piece that needs to be removed. It is where the tip of my screw driver is pointing in pic one.
Use a 3/8 or half inch ratchet extension or a woden dowell to knock this out with a hammer as seen in pic 2.
Once you have removed the entire plastic insert, assemble the chair per the instructions. Your bar stool will now work as designed and as you expected.
Also, use of a heat gun or hair dryer will make removing the 4 decals from the bottom of the seat bottom a lot easier. Use a solvent or GooGone to remove the remaining glue. I used laquer thinner with no issues.
The quality of the three that I bought was good. None of the nics that others have had.
My only issue was having to take the stools apart and diagnose the issue.
