I am a public library director and  bought two of these stools. We do a lot of author interview and needed raised seating.They are perfect. I was looking for something with a back, no arms, sturdy legs and no casters. The dark blue upholstery fits into our decor and I was so pleased when they arrived that the upholstery actually has some texture that just adds to the overall richness of the chair. Very reasonably priced, arrived quickly, easy to assemble. Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.
