I wish I could give it 5 stars because it is beautiful and sturdy, but it did have stains on the fabric where the plastic had air holes. It is cherry but leans more to the brown than red and the fabric has yellow tint to the cream, so keep that in mind if that is a problem. (That worked out great for my colors.) Some people mentioned that there was no predrilled holes but mine had them. They were very tiny and one did not match up but it could be that people are just not seeing them because they are so tiny.  It is very heavy which I think speaks alot to it's sturdiness. I had to have help getting it out of the box but I did put it together by myself. I would not advise this for most ladies because it is very heavy. I'm a large lady and yet I fit very well and feel like the stool will hold me.

Pros: Sturdy, large enough for a good size person, lot's of table top room,beautiful
Cons: stained fabric, small drawers
