I needed adjustable stools for our island that is at an unconventional height.  This chair is quite comfortable, a piece of cake to assemble (no instructions provided or needed), and good value.  The only criticism is the design of the foot rest, which is stationary, a little on the high side and doesn't rotate with the chair.  But, this design flaw isn't what i would consider a deal-breaker; I knew this when i purchased it, and have no regrets.
