This is a truly great product.  [...]  It was the easiest assembly I have ever encountered, just 3 sections that literally slipped together in a few seconds and it was ready for use.  Although the style of the stool is slim-line it is an extremely sturdy design/construction.  I had a friend who weighs in excess of 300 pounds try it out and there was no issue, in fact he was comfortable on this barstool.  I usually don't bother to review products, but this barstool deserves my highest praise.  This is the barstool you've been looking for!
