I'd been looking for this stool on many sites and was thrilled when Great Offer Stock could deliver sooner than any of the others AND they were on sale! All the other ones I looked at had a swivel top, but I missed that this one does not. Glad I only ordered one to see how it would go with our island...I'll have to buy the rest elsewhere. Otherwise, I still love the look...just like pictured. Description said assembly was required but came all as one piece and feels solid. There is a little wobble to it, so we'll have to put a furniture pad under a part of it to level it. Would have given 4 stars if it swiveled like others I've seen.
