The stool is attractive and very comfortable.  They rotate easily. All of our guests have commented on how much they like them and on how comfortable they are.  My husband assembled them without too much effort.  The only downside is that each of the three stools we bought had problems with the finish . . . mostly on the top part of the base, just under the cushion part.  There were some blobs, but mostly spots where the paint was missing.  My husband was able to use a touch up paint and a little wood putty to fix this.  It didn't take long at all, and it looks good.  So despite the fact that yours will likely also needs a little touch up, we both think these are still a good value for the price and are happy with the purchase.
