I pretty much have liked everything about the bar stool. It was very easy to put together. The fabric though, I'm not sure if it is a valor or velvet. I didn't realize the type of fabric when I ordered it with the cushion. It is usable and pretty. But when you run your hand one way the color changes. So I'm constantly making the color back to the way I want it to be. But that doesn't change the quality. It is still a nice quality bar stool. I was recommended to your site from my sister in law and I have been very please.
