LOVE this stool! It’s very lightweight so easy to move around, but sturdy enough to sit (and stand, tho I really should not suggest that, but I have stood on it a couple times already but I only weigh 110) and lean on. The inside is very spacious to store whatever you need to keep inside and not have to worry about crushing the flooring of the inside. The top stays on very well and doesn’t slip off when sitting on or moving. The velvet is very soft and doesn’t feel cheap at all. I love this little stool and am so glad to have it!
