Great design and quality
By: Fran F., Homeowner (Colorado)
These are very solidly built and are some of the most striking looking stools on the market today. They can also be used outdoors. The most surprising thing about them is that they are really comfortable. They don't look like it, but they are.
Outstanding construction and finish. Striking, solid and stackable.

5-Stars for form, 3-stars for function. The Magis Stool_One is a clean, striking design that is unique in its form and practical in its function. The geometry echos composite stealth aerospace shapes. Bought the white. We have a kitchen island that accomodates 4 stools for daily use. When we have guests it's nice to be able to add two more spaces. Enter Stool_one which is light weight, space-saving stackable (we store them in the closet when not entertaining). It fit the bill perfectly w/o breaking the bank. I bought w/o testing in person. Honestly, they are not as comfortable as I had hoped. The openings in the seating area force you to fidget until you find the most comfortable position. A thin padded leather cushion would be a nice option but I haven't seen on for the stool, only the chair. For my next purchase I have my sights set on the awesome outdoor bench.
