I was going to use the stool at my kitchen island. Luckily I only ordered one to see how I liked it first. For the price the stool was acceptable but the material covering the seat was very cheap looking. The second time my husband sat on the stool there was a loud pop. The seat sags now on one side and looks awful. My husband only weighs 200lbs well under the weight limit suggested. If the material in the seat would have held up I may have purchased the additional three stools I needed. I definitely would not recommend purchasing this item. Very disappointing.
