I put this in the kitchen.  I need to use a stool every day, many times, since I am so short.  I put felt on the bottom and just push it to my spot.  The stool is unbelievably sturdy and very stable.  Not like a normal stool, better.  Much better.  I think anyone who has a balance issue would love this (not me, former dancer).  It looks good, too.  It goes with my dark kitchen cabinets.  Nice design.  Get it.
