I love this piece, it's so beautiful. I wish it folded up to store, so it wouldn't take up too much space. I use it to move between my closet and bookshelf, but it's easy to set things on while its not in use, which was definitely not intended. It arrived already fully built, so the package was very large. It was very carefully packaged; each leg was individually wrapped, and there was some industrial staples that had to be carefully removed. There were tiny flaws where some of the nailed sections were not filled and showed a minor dent. It's the tiniest bit wobbly, which isn't a good or safe thing, so I have to be a little more careful. It's also a little scary standing on the very top step, as it's easy to lean too far forward and the stool can lose its balance with you. Overall it's beautiful and the material is lovely, but definitely requires being very present while in use lol
