I bought 4 Milk bar stools. They looked great - but after about 9 months they started to fall apart. I removed the base cover to see what was going on only to find that the base wood that takes all of the weight is not one solid piece but multiple scraps of wood stapled together. These staples inevitably fail over time and then the whole thing starts to fall apart. It’s literally the leather holding them together. These are some of the most expensive stools on the market and yet they are using scraps of wood to build them. It’s unbelievable. The cheapest stools are made with solid bases, that’s just the absolute base level of manufacturing. I complained about this a few years ago and they said they would review the manufacturing process. I saw that they still sell milk stools so I’ve ordered more (they match the kitchen) and guess what, they have all been built with scraps of wood so not just a bad batch. Loaf is a complete rip off. Appalling.
