The stool is very good quality and goes perfect with the desk I also purchased.  The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars was because it was hard to assemble.  The bolts for the leg assembly screw into another screw that you have to line up through a hole in the wood.  The screw falls to the bottom and makes alignment impossible.  I had to order a magnetic tip screwdriver set in order to be able to hold the screw in the right place for alignment.  It was very frustrating trying to line them up.  Aside from that, the stool is excellent quality and I love it.
