I looked for awhile for a stool for my desk. A chair took up too much room for the tight space in my bedroom. This vanity bench is perfect. It matches my desk in color, the padded seat is comfy and it is exactly what I wanted. It wasn't too hard to assemble and is very sturdy. Might be a little high priced, but it is exactly what I was looking for so it is worth it. My second Wayfair purchase and I have been extremely pleased with both.
