I needed a stool that would be counter height, slide neatly under my desk and have a gold base and neutral covering.  This stool is so perfect!  Plus, it’s so comfortable to sit on and I can slide right up close to the desk with my legs all the way in without obstruction.  Then I can just tuck it all the way in to stay out of the way of the door.  It’s very heavy and balanced so it doesn’t tip at all.  I’m so pleased with this.  I thought it was very well priced for the high quality of the product.  Love it!  I couldn’t have found anything more attractive and high end if I’d gone out and hunted any high end store.
