Bought this for use in our narrow kitchen. My husband who loves to cook also has arthritis in feet and knees. It arrived this morning and he has already used it. The height is good for standard counter height, he said it is comfortable, and the swivel is very handy to just turn toward stove and getting out of with having to push chair back. I love the sturdy oak and the finish is beautiful. We are always, so far, more then happy with purchases from Wayfair. This is another out of the ballpark win.
