Overall, I really like the stool. My husband was able to assemble it for me in 10-15 minutes, so assembly wasn’t complicated. While he was putting it together, he accidentally made some scuff marks on the white fabric, and I was very easily able to get the marks off with a damp paper towel. I don’t think it’s quite tall enough to use as a bar stool in our home, but I’m okay with that. I’ve got it sitting in our bedroom currently, and it looks very nice, modern, & elegant. As long as you aren’t too rough on it, it seems like it should hold up just fine.
