Its nice, sturdy, and comfortable for what I use it for (vanity room). The rhinestones do poke into your legs if you dont cover them, but not painful, just slightly uncomfortable. I will be returning, however, because it is not high enough for my use. It also goes down a bit when you sit down, so this made it even shorter for me. The overall look of the chair, however, is really quite nice. Wish it had worked out.
