We first bought the big round footstool then later on that night we decided to purchase the vanity stool we have only had it about a month now but we are truly loving both pieces they both work well together I am using the footstool as my grandson toy chest you see the top can be removed to put whatever you want in it and the vanity stool I am using as my comptuer stool me and my husband love them both so if you have the chance to purchase both of them then just do it you won't be sorry.
