These little stools are the perfect accessory for our entryway.  We will use them to sit down to put on shoes but also to be available for extra seating when needed. 

The fabric is a trendy boucle, and the beige is neutral enough to blend in with most whites (our walls are white and we have light colored tile floors). They're very sturdy and can hold a fair bit of weight. Some other stools that I was considering had a much higher price point and much lower maximum weight capacity.

I'm very pleased with the purchase.
