The size and color are perfect for my Deco vanity.  It is compact and very comfortable.  The red is a rusty red that goes with everything.  The cushion is firm and you want that in a stool.  It might be a bit light for person 200 lbs but perfect for me-the legs are not super sturdy.  Since it is absolutely perfect for my space I didn’t mind the higher price and the fact the cushion can be cleaned or reupholstered easily.
