I purchased for outdoor balcony for place to set a drink, snack plate or laptop as needed. Top is very level as shown and color (I ordered the white wash glaze) is exactly as shown in the photo.  I like this is offered in a neutral color to not clash with other things I may put out on my porch yet the wash makes the details which are very nice all the way around show nicely. Love looking at this. Quality and finish were very good. Is easy for me to move around if needed. My other 3 garden stools are all exactly the same green color (like the green in the pillow on chair in photo) and round. This was a nice contrast piece to keep the look from being boring or predictable.
