The color and design is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately the material and quality of the leather is cheap. The leather see also had scratches on it when it arrived. These were not imperfectionsnatural from the leather, it was clearly done during the packaging process. Im going to try a leather conditioner on it.  

The concept of the stool is perfect to be able to store it away and bring it out when needed.  I definitely think its a good buy if you can get it on a really good sale. It looks nice and serves its purpose. But if it was regular price I would absolutely look at different options.
