This stool is very comfortable. I really like the high back making it great to sit in for hours. The dark, gray leather is high quality and I like the look of the studded arms. The darker wood legs make the stool really stand out. It's a great height, you don't really have to jump up to sit on it and you can place your feet on the wood. It was easy to put together with the instructions, took me about 10 minutes total. I really like the overall look and feel of this chair.
