I like the lower profile, long deep seat with a back that lands higher on the back and round-square silhouette. I can sit cross-legged in the bucket. Swivels smoothly. Its more lightweight than I would like, but it does not tip over. The black wood base is appealingly quieter than a metallic one for me. The gray is charcoal heather, so it has a cooler black tone than the warm greige I had desired. Seams are crooked. Fabric is not plush, feels on the thin side.I do like the pair, and the price is  fair. I just wish it was a different color. Perhaps Ill have them re-upholstered (which would still total less than half the price of PBRH).
