I'm really happy with this stool. It had all the features we were looking for (swivel, upholstered, high back) and it seems to be appropriate quality for the price. Its comfortable and feels sturdy to sit on.

The assembly was not bad at all. The instructions are clear. I did have a little trouble with holes lining up on the seat, but I was able to fix this by loosening all the bolts and starting again. I think the key is keeping all the bolts pretty loose until the very end, and then tightening them all one by one.
