Really nice looking stool, comfortable, good lower back support and seat material is good looking faux leather.  Just realize the wood doesn't look like real wood... it's very "faux".  Not 5 stars bc I don't think it is as built to last as it could be (you'll notice why when you see what the bottom of the seat looks like) and I can't get the legs to be even on the floor.  But would I buy again... yes
