Really not the best stool option. It's not ergonomic and initially really hurt my thighs whilst sitting on it. Then, my back started hurting. I'm pretty small-framed so it's not that the seat is too small, but the way it's designed is definitely for very short-term sitting. The silver paint around the seat is definitely super easy to scratch, and I even received it with its top already scratched (no blame there, I think it's just *that* easy to take that silver color coating off). The cushion is comfortable, but that's about the only plus, and it also swivels nicely. All in all, I will be returning, as I can see there are definitely better options out there.
