Somewhat disappointed. I purchased 2 of these stools and was initially pleased with them 'out of the box', as they appeared to be well made and sturdy. On the second count the frame is solid, however after one use the plastic seat covering ('faux leather') on one of stools tore from a trouser pocket button (plastic) as it is very thin. I had hoped to order another 2 stools but now will look for an alternative product and also replace these. If you only need something for very light use then they are probably fine but they are not suited for everyday use.
