This counter stool is more comfortable than most I have sat on.  It provides extra  cushion.  The color flint goes well with almost any decor.  I like that the stool is very sturdy, stylish, and has a reinforced metal piece located on cross support where feet would normally be placed.  I was glad to see that it arrived assembled and protected properly.  There was a separate shipping issue that was resolved quickly by Wayfair.
