Fabulous. The workmanship on the stool was great. Has a chrome base and there was not even a scratch on it. The hydraulic lift goes up and down with ease to adjust them easily. Kind of looks like a barber chair in the picture but believe me in person they are awesome. Reasonably priced. Looked all over in the stores for that type of a stool and only kept seeing the same old tired bar stools. The arm rests make it so comfortable.
