I wanted something that wasn't  "serious". This footstool is perfect. I ordered it in black  and at the beginning it shed a bit but now it is fine. I have a red leather couch and two beige bent wood recliners so this was a great match, complementing the eclectic design.

Pros: Funky, modern, great price.
Cons: A drop too low, maybe another 2 inches higher would be more comfortable.
