I was looking for a chair or stool that was easy to move in my apartment (short pile carpet). I have severe arthritis in all my joints and this stool is perfect for my needs. With the adjustable height i can move it to its heighest point wich makes it easier to sit down on as well as get up from. It rolls very well on my carpeted floors,whether sitting on it or just moving it from room to room. I am totally satisfied with my purchase.
