I was shopping around for a stool to test and see if my kids would like while working on their projects and spotted design.  Love, love, love the look and functionality of this piece.  Heads up though, with the foot ring this is meant for higher counters or worktops (the seat height at its lowest is 29 inches and 35 at its highest).  I bought this for a projects and crafts room and the work surfaces are at 36 inches.  I resolved this by removing and setting aside the foot ring which brought the seat height down to 20 inches at its lowest and 26 inches at its highest.  It's simple and minimalistic design doesn't require a lot of space and the seat provides more than adequate cushion, a plus for grown ups teens and younger kids.  I plan on purchasing 3 more for this room and and probably introduce this to my work laboratory and get more feedback.

Pros: design, comfort and cost
Cons: none at this time
