This stool looks and feels way more expensive than it is. It's very stable, and like others said, packaging was five stars. Stool came fully assembled and was super easy to unbox. The counter height stool is perfect for counters with the standard 34" from floor to the bottom of the overhang. The seat is comfortable, maybe not quite as comfortable as our previous very expensive stools, but I was really happy to find these at this really great price point. The leather looks and feels really nice, these arrived undamaged, and are very ergonomic to sit in.
