The design of the stool is awesome. The wood stain is beautiful. The functionality works great. The only drawback is, the first time four adults sat in the stools, one of the four that I purchased, the footrest where the wood is not protected by the chrome, the wood easily chipped.

But, love them enough to take a brown permanant marker to correct the slight damage, so only the homeowner knows.

The  stool was exactly as the website described.

I would recommend these to anyone who asks, I would also use caution on what shoes are worn when sitting in the stool.
