Just received my stool today to put in a newly remodeled spare bedroom and….wow it looks better than the pictures on the website. Nice and sturdy. Chrome is very shiny and complements the decor in the room. Cushion is firm but you still kinda sink in it after a bit. Great for putting on shoes. Vinyl material is not dead white, but white enough for me. So I am satisfied with this vanity stool and would recommend it. Oh and it was on sale, so that’s a plus too. If you’re on the fence….. buy it!
