If you want to use it at a low height (like a regular counter), it is very nice.  The quality of the "leather" and stitching were excellent, good footrest, and height change mechanism worked well.  BUT, at bar counter height it is unstable and can tip over.  So, I sent it back.  And I should mention that it is NOT easy to take apart.  Also, of course not happy to have to pay to send it back when it didn't work as described.
