Beautiful color, great detail.  As another review mentioned, you can in fact see the "seams" that run from top to bottom, but I think this just adds to the detail.  I ended up using this in another area than originally intended, just showing it's versatility.  NOTE the dimensions, it is smaller than other "stool/tables" of this type.  But that's what we needed for a small space.  I'm using it inside, but I could see it on a patio (unsure of it's seal or protectant though in outdoor environment).
