Very disappointing. It’s quite flimsy and feels unstable, supposedly supports 250lbs., I weigh half that and I do not feel safe on this stool. I am not sure what to do with it, I would not want a child on it, the base 
is too small to be stable and It has already been put together I doubt that I can return it. You can see the comparison with the stool I already own that cost only a few dollars more and is much more sturdy with a wider base. I need a rolling stool when working at my long arm quilting machine but this one will not do, I am very afraid it would tip me over as I rolled. I would not recommend purchasing this item
