This is the perfect size seat for our large walk-in closet. i use it when i put my shoes on, and then tuck it out of the way. the seat is wide enough to be comfortable but it's also not so deep that it takes up a lot of space. it was easy to put together, although i learned the hard way not to tighten the leg screws too much until the crossbars are also attached. once put together the stool is sturdy, well made and nicely finished with no rough edges. if you need a small seat i would recommend this one. can't beat the price.
