I thought from the description that this end table would be a hunk of solid concrete, but it's actually hollow and quite thin, so it's very light weight. I wouldn't use this as a stool/end table multi purpose furniture piece, I wouldn't trust my body weight on it (and I'm small). 

It's very pretty, and goes with the mid century modern urban industrial chic look we have going on in that office.

UPDATE: Someone sat on it and it crumbled like paper. Hard to control in an office environment, therefore kind of inevitable, but disappointing. This table is NOT for double duty as a stool.
