This is a good stool - it's not quite as solid as I had hoped. Two of the support bars along the bottom aren't secured into the actual structure - they basically serve as decoration - They fell off every time I even so much as sat down. I ended up using caulk to secure them. It's a huge flaw in the design. It serves the purpose as a seat for my vanity in a small space, but not being able to screw in the support beams at the bottom was a huge disappointment for me.
