Ikea Steel - Marius Stool Stackable - ( White ), 46 cm, 5 cm

Good productValue for moneyStable

The product is as per description on site. Is nice to look at and also seems sturdy. But was not packed properly and all the accessories (screws/nuts) required for assembling were not in a sealed packet and dropped out. Had to furnish screws available at home to assemble.

Great

The product looks good. Typical sleek, modern Ikea design. However, it is unstable because of an apparent design flaw. I had second thoughts before buying this item because another buyer had also complained about this issue. I still bought it because it looked nice but I think that was a mistake. The stool is not structurally sound. After you put it together, it may wobble. The instructions say (see the image) that you have to pull the legs apart so that all 4 legs are of the same height and the stool is stable. I pulled and pushed many times in different directions but was not able to make the legs the same size. It was a never ending process because it is impossible to attain the right balance by pulling/pushing by hand. Finally I gave up. Now we have a slightly imbalanced stool. Also, the material is flimsy. Not for heavyweight people.

The best part is that this is a made in India product. We had Marius stools bought last year from an IKEA store in Dubai and this stool was a perfect match. Installation is simple; just joining the legs and seat using the screws and bushes provided. Slight adjustment of the legs (pulling apart gently) will be required to keep the stool stable on the floor without wobbling. Overall an elegant piece of furniture for your patio. Good value for money. Totally happy with it. Ki ui

I loved the assembly design. Supremely easy to assemble. The stool is hardy enough, even though it’s extremely lightweight. Love IKEA for this product. I ordered 2 of these stools - white and black both, but was provided with only one range for the assembly. Hence deducting 1 star. IKEA should provide the range with each tool, not based on the bundle or cart - are you trying to save costs on a simple range? I also purchased 2 IKEA chairs along with these, but those didn’t even have a range, although the assembly was very similar to the stools. That kind of takes away the delight from this otherwise awesome product!

I haven't put this together but I am about to. However, I checked this item out at the store and it seems like such a great stool. And that is why I purchased it. Also, the price is fantastic and so, is the design. The thing about IKEA is if you care for your products 20 years from now someone will be creating a furniture art history art book and IKEA's furniture will be in there because the great designs, affordability and function. It will be just like EAMES and one time---just mark my word I will be correct. Thanks again, IKEA!!

Assembly is troublesome and the support from Amazon is equally degraded
