[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased 24 of these for work for use in our make-up department. 200 people sit in these nightly for 32 show nights to have make-up applied before our show. Staff love them and they held up well. Assembly is very easy. My 8 year old assembled one with my direction. At home, I use one for my desk chair at my bar. I do computer work for about 8 hours a day on this stool. Not as comfy as an executive plush office chair, but I am amazed I can sit on it so long.
Chair height mechanism works well and is easy. Foot rest is great. They look great!
My only complaint is that the main pole connection to the base is press-fit. There is no bolt or screw holding it together. It hasn't been an issue yet, even when picking up and moving.
Bottom line - for the price, I don't think there is a better bar stool.
