I purchased wood step stool in brown and it is well made and matches my bedroom furniture nicely. Has a very traditional decorative appearance and doesn't scream step stool!  As some have previous stated, it can tip a little when standing on the top step if leaning forward. To solve that problem one just needs to keep the heels of one's feet slightly down when standing on the step or if on one's tippy-toes, just  put one's toes further back on the step. Easy to remedy. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.
