I was looking for a quality 24" stool with no back for my music room at a reasonable price...  This stool is well made and very easy to assemble... I've been on it for a couple of weeks now, and it is what I expected!!  Solid construction with plenty of padding and comfortable... If your looking for a 24" stool with or without a back, in a nice finish... This is the one for the quality, value and price...
