I liked this stool because it was a different design to others that I'd seen. The velvet fabric is lovely and soft, I love that it has the option of storage as you wouldn't know at first glance. I also love the cylindrical metal foot as it wasn't like others I'd seen. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the screws were a little awkward to screw in as there wasn't much room and because I found it nearly £20 cheaper on another website after I'd had it for about a week.
