Sturdy and stylish. Have great ergonomic tilt for a comfortable sit. Even more comfortable with a pillow for longer sits. One thing we do not like - bottom where post meets seat looks janky when viewing stools from a seated couch position. We stuffed black garbage bags to close the gap and make less noticeable. (See pics) Would be better if manufacturer added some sort of custom black foam insert. Otherwise, happy with the purchase.

Classy, well built, beautiful leather and the steel base heavy and gorgeous\

Looks amazing could be a bit more comfortable but regardless happy with my purchase
