I really like the quality of the stool.  I purchased 2 of the bar stools 4-1/2 yrs ago as I lived in an apartment.  This new chair is a bit smaller in size and the seat is somewhat smaller.  But I could not expect the exact some years later.  I placed it at the counter in the middle of the larger stools.  Being somewhat a similar design, I am very satisfied.  The quality has not changed and that was my concern.  Very satisfied with my purchase.  I give it a 5-star for qualtity, comfort and workmanship.
