Awesome stool!  Can't say enough good things about it. Yes it is expensive but it is so well built and heavy that it makes the chair absolutely worth the expense.  The swivel works well, the bonded leather is quite good, the nailhead trim is well installed.  The seat is generous and holds a large person reasonably well.  Love the low arms- they are placed just right to allow a short person like me to hoist myself onto the seat.  The back is well positioned - not too far back or too far forward- curved just right to allow an individual to sit back and actually enjoy sitting on a stool for a change.  The seat could be softer but it is in no way hard.  It pairs very well with a pub height table.  
Well suited with modern rustic decor.  A definite must have.
