Love, Love, Love this saddle stool. Exceeded my expectations in comfort and sturdiness. My back is injured and standing or walking is painful. This stool, with it caster wheels, has made it possible to move around the kitchen, returning the joy in cooking! It is easy to lower with a leaver in the back. The stool goes to a height where reaching bottom cabinets, retrieving pots and pans, and then returning to height for cooking on the stove is easy with smooth transitions. When first unboxing I thought the seat looked very big, but it is just right and quite comfortable. The price was amazing as well.
