Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Sede counter stool owners, across finishes, praise the comfort, finish and quick assembly; a few report rocking, cracks or broken parts

Room×Lab read all 370 distinct written reviews Article shows for the Sede leather counter stool: 49 recent and 321 older. Article can show reviews of other Sede counter-stool finishes on this page, so these reviews and the 548 ratings cover the Sede counter stool across its finishes, not only Walnut and Black. Praise far outnumbers complaints; the reviews below show common praise, one owner after more than two years, a new stool compared with older ones, and the failures owners reported.

Room×Lab rating: 8.0 out of 10 (limited confidence). Sede counter stool owners, across its finishes, rate it highly for comfort, looks, compact counter fit and quick assembly. The caveats: a few stools rocked, cracked near the seat back, lost leather adhesion or broke a leg, and newer stools can look larger and darker than older sets.

  • Comfort with a compact fit: 106 favorable mentions; 18 concerns — Owners often praised the padding and low back. Others found the compact seat too small for larger people, and the 27-inch seat height too tall for some counters.
  • Finish appeal versus production consistency: 86 favorable mentions; 17 concerns — The leather and walnut drew broad approval. A small number of owners adding to older sets found the newer stools slightly larger or darker than ones bought several years earlier.
  • Durability and support: Durability: 15 favorable mentions and 16 concerns; service: 33 favorable mentions and 5 concerns — Some stools held up for years; one set still looked new after more than two years. Problems were isolated: rocking stools, cracks near the seat back, a leg that broke within weeks of light use, and leather lifting after about a year. Returns and replacements often went smoothly; help after the one-year warranty was less dependable.

Before buying

Check the 27-inch seat height against your counter and the compact seat against each user, and protect delicate floors. A new stool may be slightly larger and darker than an older set; report cracks or rocking within the one-year warranty.
