This is the perfect height for me with my task chair.  The top is cushioned, but firm so your feet won't sink in.  It is upholstered in a very nice faux leather, piped and seamed perfectly.  The red is not a fire engine red, so  don't be afraid of ordering it in red.  It is well made inside and out.  Good product design.  Delivery was great.  Thank you Wayfair.
