Wonderful. I have looked for 3 years, YES 3 years, for an extra tall stool at a reasonable price.  My kitchen counter measures 30 inches from top to the floor. It is perfect. The construction is very well made, heavy and sturdy. I was very surprised at the quality of this chair as I have seen similar ones for 2-3 times more money. My 8 and 10 year old grandchildren are safe on it and can finally reach the counter.  My suggestion for 74 year old grandparents is to buy it assembled. I am very handy but had to bend over too much to put it together.  Not the product's fault, just OLD AGE.  Definitely recommend.
