The look and style of the stool is great.  However the swivel for this bar stool is absolutely horrible.  The swivel makes the seat rock back and forth like you are sitting on a rocking chair.  This has got to be the worst swivel that can be used on this heavy durabil bar stool.  If you purchase this stool you will have to replace the swivel with one that contains a full ring of ball bearings to avoid the rocking.  The rocking from the swivel actually makes you feel like you are going to tip over that is how much it moves.
