I had previously purchased a garden stool that I liked in ceramic, only to find that it was best not to sit on it?! (It is now a plant stand.) So, when I saw this one in wood, I was very happy to find one I could actually sit on. It is very attractive for a garden spot, blending right in with the tree and flowers where it is located. It is also easily moved, should I want to sit in a different spot. Love it!
