My daughter has outgrown her toddler chair, and we needed a replacement for her to use at the coffee table when shes working on homework or having a snack. This little stool is the right height for an elementary/age child and fits our needs perfectly, but I dont know that it would be comfortable for an adult. It was easy to assemble and the gray color is a shade that is neutral without being as harsh as black. The seams are fairly straight and the stool appears to be well made.
Ive seen a couple of people commenting/questioning about using this as a step stool for getting in and out of a tall bed, and I have safety concerns about that idea. The vinyl upholstery is fairly smooth, and I would be concerned that socks (or even bare feet) could slide on it fairly easily. Also, the legs are inset a bit from the edges, and I see the stool start to flip up quite often when my daughter sits too close to the edge. Its only 9 inches off the ground, so its not a big deal when she slides off onto the floor, but I would be concerned that an older adult might be injured if they didnt plant their foot directly in the center of the stool.
For our rposes, however, its perfect. If you need a small stool for a child to sit on at a low table, this one is great!
