This stool is incredibly well-made. We first discovered it in use in a restaurant outside of Charlottesville and were so impressed that we looked for it, and found it at Wayfair. The only reason its not a five is that the design has changed slightly, and the parts and instructions havent been updated accordingly. Assembly necessitates a trip to the hardware store for longer screws to make it work. Other than that minor inconvenience, its absolutely awesome!
