The swivel feature is not smooth.  The wood top has a very poor finish; it has cracks that will likely splinter.  One stool had a very poor repair done on the wood.  A piece of poorly-matched good measuring about 1 1/2 inches was inserted into what appears to have been a hole on the wood top.  If it weren't so much trouble to ship back, I would have returned it.  I will not be ordering from you again!
