The foot stool is almost 19” high, not 16” as advertised. It sits higher than our chair seats, which is very uncomfortable. 
The top stitching is also defective and ugly on the one we received needless to say it is being returned. I am so sad ( 

If it would have only been 16” tall and the stitching on the top not so messed up, I would have kept it. I loved the style.
