This bar stool is extra wide and super comfy for it being a bar stool. A couple problems we've had after 6 months of use is that it is slightly wobbly (maybe due to our installation? Unsure, but still usable, just a little shaky) & it didn't take too long for the buttons to get caught on clothing and become loose. Eventually we just took all the buttons off---which, in the end, made the cushions a lot more comfortable. Great bar stool for the price. Despite the issues we've had with it, we'd still buy it again. Definitely a larger bar stool, though, so make sure you have the space to accommodate. UPDATE: It's been about 1 1/2 years of daily use with this stool and it's bit the dust. Buttons started popping off at about 1 year (clung to clothing and popped off). Then, it got a bit wobbly. Now it is completely wobbly. Unable to fix but maybe someone who is more handy would be able to fix. Today, it's nauseating to sit in as it wobbles greatly (but still swivels)--fun for the kids. :) Overall, I would still give this item 4 stars, but just know that it might not have the longest lifespan if used daily. I just bought another stool from Great Offer Stock, but decided to give another stool a try. (This one is very large--comfy but a bit too big for our space).
