Great bar stool for the price actually. It was easy to assembly and looks great. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the height changes quite a bit when you sit on it, much more than a normal office chair, I believe this is due to the very long stroke, allowing it to have a wide range of adjustment. And the other complaint I have is that the tube of the seat does not fit as tightly to the stem of the base as much as I would have hoped, leading to a somewhat "rocking" feeling when moving in the chair, however, I think that can be fixed by some type of spacer to shim that fit. All in all, a good bar stool.
