It's not perfect, but everyone who sits on it loves it. The swivel is smooth, chair is easy to get in and out of it, its small size is great for fitting around the bar but has still been comfortable for larger folks. It was even the right height, size, and comfort for a friend who visited with her 80 year old dad who has trouble getting in and out of chairs. The 'walnut' on the legs seems to be already peeling (after a couple months) but the usefulness / sturdiness of the chair outweighs this detail.
