This is a very attractive stool. The seat is wide and ample. The nail stud pattern around the outside is a very nice touch. The cushion is comfortable to sit on. The white wash color of the legs makes it look distressed. Assembly is a little tricky. You might want to have two people to hold the legs together while you try to screw them in. The Foot Rails do not have pre-drilled holes and have a notch that fits together. Getting them very snug was hard to do. I would recommend using wood glue first and then adding the screws. The bolts holding the seat are almost impossible to put the lower ones in because you cannot turn the Allen wrench.
