I bought this in red for my husband's shop.  His knees just won't let him stand all day any more.  The stylish contemporary stool looks great in the shop, and adds a bit of class.  Well made, quick assembly, easy to adjust height.   Strong and secure feeling when sitting on it.  Beautiful chrome base and pedistal. Very well packed in a good sturdy carton that included a bag of silicone gel pellets to absorb any moisture in the box.
