I think this is a really cute stool, it looks exactly as pictured and I'm happy with the appearance, but I'm not sure I feel it's worth the price I paid - I feel like it's kind of cheaply made. Other reviewers are right - it's very light weight and "tippable", but as one person said this almost makes it seem adjustable, and I agree. I guess just being so light makes it not seem like quality. I guess I think of solid things as quality, and this is more like a kids piece of furniture - it feels like something I could make myself with some faux fur or even a cut up stuffed animal. I think I'd be very happy with it for $35.00, but having paid about twice that I'm merely okay with it, not impressed, nor would i reccommend it.
