The stool has the look of a 4 star review.  It looks great, is affordable priced and fits nicely in a smaller home. The comfort is closer to a 3 star review and less if you plan on sitting for a long time.  The depth of the seat, the backrest height (regardless of the height), and being bare legs does not make it comfortable enough for long periods of sitting.  The stool was purchased for a 5'-4'' height and average weight person, and I cannot imagine it would suit a taller person.
