I am very disappointed and would not recommend this stool. I ordered 2 of the blue stools and when they came both seats had very big dings on them. I called Josh and Main and they sent out 2 more. One of which has dents in the seats. So now I have 4 stools and only one is in good shape. Because of the dents, the wing nuts that screw the seat to the base don't line up and the seat will only swivel about 90 degrees before the wing nut catches. What a mess. They need to get with the packaging company and insist they do something to pack this bar stool in a way that does not damage the product. The metal is very heavy duty, which I liked, but the base, during shipping, bounces against the seat causing big unsightly dings. I gave it 2 stars because if the stool came undamaged it is very sturdy and has just the look I am going for.
