Really happy with this stool. The specifications listed 26" H and adjustable but didn't state the maximum adjusted height for the stool. I wanted it to work for a 36" H kitchen counter and a 30" H Island.  I currently have it adjusted to 30" high for the kitchen counter.  The finish is nicer then expected...a rich looking med dark grey and sturdy but not too heavy to lift. The seat is a lighter grain then expected, blend of grey and tan. The legs have ceramic caps on the feet so they don't scratch the wood floor. It swivels easily and doesn't need a cushion, although with the decorative iron around the wood seat, a pillow or pad could even be tied on to stool.  I thought it looked unique online, but it is even better in person...and it came fully assembled in 3 days (free shipping) during the mid December holiday season.
