I bought a pair of these to use in my bedroom - one as a vanity seat and the other as a small side table by an armchair. I plan to pull them out when I have guests for extra seating/tables in the living room or on the balcony, as needed. They arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The gold finish is nice and shiny, which is exactly what I wanted. They are the perfect versatile seating/side table option that is also a beautiful accent!
