Rank #8 in Best Bar Stools 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Load Ratings Don't Add Up
HOMCOM Breakfast Bar Stools Set of 2, Green
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HOMCOM Breakfast Bar Stools Set of 2 is number 8 in this guide: a pair of height-adjustable swivel stools in green faux leather with diamond tufting, a powder-coated steel frame and high backs. It is listed at £99.99 with 4.3 out of 5 from 159 ratings.
The number that matters most for this article is 110 kg — the maximum load HOMCOM states per stool, which is lower than the 120 kg, 136 kg and 150 kg the other pairs in this guide declare. On the question that trips up the £199.99 pair, this listing is consistent: the title says Set of 2, and the fields agree with it — Number of Pieces: 2, Unit Count: 2.0 count, Number of Items: 2. Two things in the same listing still do not line up. The bullet text describes a "large 45 cm round base", while the specification field Item Shape says Rectangular; and the five rating bars (68, 16, 5, 4 and 7) add up to 100, not the 159 ratings quoted on the same page. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from a test we ran.

Questions people ask
What is the maximum load for these stools?
The HOMCOM listing states a maximum load of 110 kg per stool — the lowest figure among the pairs in this guide, where the others declare 120 kg, 136 kg and 150 kg.
How many stools are in the HOMCOM set?
Two. The title says Set of 2 and, unlike the £199.99 pair in this guide, the fields back it up: Number of Pieces: 2, Unit Count: 2.0 count and Number of Items: 2.
What is the seat height range?
The seat adjusts from 63 cm to 83 cm on a 360° swivel, with an overall height of 97–117 cm, a 51 cm width and 59 cm depth.
Is the base round or rectangular?
The same listing gives both answers. The bullet text describes a large 45 cm round base with an anti-slip rubber ring, while the specification field 'Item Shape' says Rectangular.
Does the stool need assembling?
Yes. The HOMCOM listing says assembly is required, and also lists a 6 month warranty against manufacturer defects, along with anti-slip foot pads, backrest, footrest and steel base as included components.
What is the rating and how many people gave it?
4.3 out of 5 from 159 ratings. The five rating bars add up to 100, so the bars and the 159 figure do not match each other.
