The bar stool is perfect height. Be aware before sitting on it that the stool will give a little causing it to go down a bit. I almost thought I didn't put it together correctly but it's normal for it to give a bit due to the hydraulics.  

Con: after putting it together I noticed some kind of black sticky material stuck on one of my white stool (seat) and I've used everything possible to try to remove it without ruining the material or scratching it up.
