Pics below:  Beautiful dark blue velvet feeling material with silver tacks (altogether there are 8 silver tacks on each side).  Unzip the compartment under the stool to find the screw on legs that have felt tabs so it won't mess up your floors. I bought this for our older kitties to get up on the bed easier.  I don't believe this is made to stand on, pretty sure it would not hold the weight of a human without damage, but to rest feet on, yes.  For the price, I would have liked substantial legs, not plastic. All in all I'm keeping it, it's regal looking.  I bought the storage bench from Wayfair in 2013; it rocks too.  Thank you Wayfair.
