Nice looking stool, however it was taller than the stated dimensions and therefore ended up being a fail (incredibly disappointing given I opened it up and put it all together!).  It was pretty easy to put together.  If, like me, you are wondering about the materials because of the comments it is made of wood, however it is distressed effect - the markings on the wood (both distress marking and plank lines) are for effect only and not natural.  Again, looks nice enough, but the seight height is over 24 without the castors at the bottom, which add another 0.75 to the seat height.  Too high for my requirements.  Shame as I specifically selected it based on the stated dimensions - grrr
