Very solid, stylish little stool. The color is just what you see, a deep golden/bronze wash finish.  The seat cushion has a thick padding that feels very comfortable and seems like it will hold it's shape. The texture of the fabric is a more casual, nubby weave, but I could see getting a remnant of velvet and in 5 minutes cover it with a staple gun for a more luxe look.  I'm pairing it with a vintage 1940's waterfall vanity, but I think it also has a very modern look that would go with anything contemporary today.  I like the fact that the metal frame can easily be painted to suit any color scheme or make repairs as needed. I have craft paint in this same color so if ever chipped, I can just dab a spot and be done.  The only thing that is a tiny bit disappointing is the decorative oval portion of the backrest is much thinner than the frame around it.  It doesn't feel like it could bend though. Just a little visual difference.  

Pros: Comfortable, easy assembly, stylish
Cons: None
