It's a cute stool and will serve my purpose—a little table beside a chair, to hold a drink, etc. It seems too small for an adult to use as a stool. I gave it only 3 stars because it isn't finished as it should have been. The top is rough, especially around the edge. If you were to sit on it, it could snag your clothes—and your dust cloth. A little sanding would make a big difference.
