If you need a stool to be used occasionally, its not a  bad choice. The height is perfect,the quality is great, however though,  the more you increase the height it does begins to gave that feel like you may tip forward(but it havent happened yet). The quality is great and its too easy to put together. A good buy arrived as expected on time. The only thing as I said is that tiny bit or feel like you may  tip forward which I think has to do with the height and flooring(carpet). The hydraulic lift wotks great, it  just take a bit of getting use to the leaverwhich u have to be standing to lift the stool and sitting to lower it(applying weight). I hope this helps if anyine is worried dont be you wont regret buying it. Especially for the price it is at for two.
