edx Bar Stools Set of 2 vs Nathan James Cohen Counter Stool

Buy the edx pair if you want two backless saddle stools for a kitchen island and want the lower cost of entry. Buy the Nathan James Cohen stool if you want one sturdier, taller stool with a solid wood frame, a woven back and a higher weight limit. The edx set has far more owner feedback and a strong 4.6 average, but it is a metal-and-PU leather stool with a 250 lb limit. The Cohen rates 4.8 on a much smaller sample of 161 ratings, and its fabric is tested to over 100,000 double rubs, five times the industry standard.

• Choose the edx set if you need two matching backless stools for a counter or island and prefer a cushion that wipes clean.
• Choose the Cohen if you want a taller, solid wood stool with a woven back, a removable cushion and a 300 lb weight limit.
