I really like this stool - however, mine were shipped from different warehouses.  The first one was beautiful - rich brown wood, thick chunky seat.  However, the other two were of inferior quality/construction.  They looked similar - they were more like “cousins” in relation to the first stool - definitely not siblings.  One had dings in the wood and one could not be leveled - and so it rocks (you know, like that chair that no one wants to sit in).
