This stool is super sturdy and the swivel is smooth. My only complaint is the wood fake. It's real wood, but it has been carved into to look old (I guess) and it is a lighter gray color than what is pictured. I might just stain the seat to get it the color I like. 

Plus, the seat isn't solid wood throughout. It has a cross piece that has been inset into the underside that shows slightly from the sides. But, I'm sure no one else notices this but me.
