This is a very attractive stool but dangerous. I wish I had paid more attention to the other reviews that said the seat was slippery and the wheels rolled too easily for safety.  My ten year old has already fallen and I also had a near accident using it.  It's not worth the hassle of returning it since the price was low -- this purchase certainly demonstrates the old saying "you get what your pay for".  I recommend spending a few more dollars and getting a safer product.
