I was surprised it had gold colors and jewels. All-in-all it was a lovely product from India. I feel privileged to receive such nice handywork. I would change one thing and that is the bottom of the cushion. The wood is not of high quality. It doesn't match the good quality of the rest of the stool. I don't think it will hurt the longevity of it, though. I expect it will last me a lifetime. I appreciate this product.
