As the title of this review suggests, my wife and I were both extremely pleased with this "bar stool," although that is not how we are using it. My wife and I are getting to the age where we like to sit down while doing some typically simple tasks. For example. she uses it to sit in front of a mirror to dry and curl her hair after a shower, and I use it to sit in front of a mirror when I shave.What we immediately noticed was how light and easy to carry from room to room even when not folded. Being made of tubular aluminum it was well engineered and manufactured, surprisingly comfortable, and sturdy for how we use it. The only reason we only gave it four stars for its sturdiness is we are not too sure how well it would suit a "large" person using to sit at bar. Its footprint on the floor is typically narrower than I think is typical of a "real barstool." Other than we highly recommend it.
