This stool is fabulous in my contemporary/modern home. The stool is exactly as pictured. It is very sturdy and the cushion is well padded. It matches the description. The directions were a bit confusing but we figured it out. The first stool took about an hour. The second stool took eleven minutes. Customer service deptment is very helpful. We love it!

Pros: Exactly as pictured
Cons: Poor directions
