I purchased this stool in May 2019. In July 2019, one of the glides (feet) split in two. The bottom horizontal runner is rounded. Nobody makes a chair glide like the originals. Consequently, I'm going to be forced to retrofit this stool with "sled glides" which will totally ruin the look. We may end up throwing it away. We are very disappointed. This stool is rated for 300 lbs., but we never ever placed even 200 lbs., on this stool. The existing glides are made of poor quality plastic. Shoppers beware.
