Very Disappointing!
Full disclosure: yes, I'm a very tall and heavy guy, so this review may not apply to a lot of people.  On the other hand, I'm within the advertised rating for weight for this stool, and my disability makes it a necessity to get around in my kitchen.<br /><br />I had high hopes for this product.  The same feature (thick seat padding) that makes this uncomfortable for me after prolonged use is also what makes it durable for my weight--so that's an even trade.  After all, it's a stool and not a recliner.  I'm good with that.<br /><br />What I'm not happy about is that, after just over two months of using for about 40 minutes a day, a wheel fell off this morning and wouldn't snap back in again.  Then I was surprised to see that the sockets for the wheels to snap into are just molded plastic!  One of the edges of that failed wheel socket had cracked.  What a poor design--going cheap like that instead of a few pennies to put metal inserts into the plastic.<br /><br />I've poured a bunch of thick "super glue" into the socket to see if that will work as a temporary fix until a new one can get here.  Yes, I'm taking a chance on another one of the same type, but I can't keep paying about $75 every two months to buy stools that I really need to have to lead a fairly normal life.
