We have four of these stools.
Easy assembly - contrary to what some reviewers have said, instructions are clear about first removing the black plastic cap on the end of the compressed gas tube.
My only complaint is that it is not so easy to stay in the seat. Maybe it would be better if the seat were not quite so flat.
The seat is comfortable, even for 200-250 pound persons. The base is definitely steel, not plastic as some have said. It could have been redesigned from an earlier model that had a plastic base.
Movement up and down is smooth. If a person allows the seat to move all the way to the top while NOT sitting in the seat and putting enough weight on the seat, it is difficult to move it down if one cannot put enough weight on it while lowering the seat.
The seat is held onto the base with only 4 machine screws. They should be adequate unless someone decides to perform some extracurricular activity while in the seat.
Nice seat, nice price
