After searching quite a while for a small footstool, I found this one.  It looks just fine with our dark blue Kerman carpet, which has a lots of cream, pink and blue in the border.  Also fits in well with our Ethan Allen floral couch, picking up several of the same colors and floral motifs.  It has storage space as well.  Fairly delicate in appearance.  And, of course, the grandkids love it.  All that, and a very reasonable price.
