I had purchased a bar stool from a local retail store and returned it because it was too high at 30". When I saw this stool advertised at 26" I knew it would be perfect. My surprise was when I struggled to put this stool together, it also turned out to be 30 inches high. I don't understand why it is advertised at 26".... From floor to top of cushion is 30"
Also, much more difficult to assemble than ones I have done in the past. I will not be sending it back because it will cost a bit to ship. 

Pros: Nice look, nice finish
Cons: Not as advertised, too high, and hard to assemble.
