I was looking for a replacement stool. The one I bought about two years ago was fabric and worn out. The stuff was worn to nothing on the top and you could feel the springs, and the cream fabric was looking a little dirty. I figured this was a good option since it wouldn't wear down the way the other one did, and I'm glad got it. Looks great in my living room and goes well with everything else. Since the chair is gray, I was struggling with what to put in front of it, and this was the perfect choice. Arrived faster than expected and in perfect condition. Highly recommend!
