I purchased this stool because of the contrasting woods and thought it would look great at our kitchen breakfast bar.  It arrived in super fast time and was really easy to put together.  It is solid and provides ample space to sit comfortably and looks really classy!  Love the wood, although it is a tad bit darker than the picture.  It really looks fantastic!

Pros: Easy to assemble and solid wood!
Cons: None - all good!
