What a piece of junk.  All the screws around the bottom of the seat had to be re-set, and still didn't sit flush.  The corners of the "brass" trim around the seat could carve a turkey, and need to be taped to prevent serious injury to children and pets.  AND it's the most uncomfortable thing I've ever sat on.  A couple of boards and a cheap comforter would do just as well (or better, frankly). Too much money for so little in return.  SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY SOMETHING GOOD AT A LOCAL STORE.
