This is a very pretty stool.   It looks great in my room and Im happy with it.  Its a little bulkier than I was thinking... it doesnt totally tuck under the counter.  I really struggled putting it together.   There were a few holes that were too narrow to get the screws in.   Once I realized that a drill took care of it.   Overall though its really nice.   Just plan on a little extra time to put it together.
