This footstool is a good value for the price and looks just like the picture shown.  However, I have 2 issues with it; (a) since the fabric is off white I'd prefer to keep the plastic in place to prevent dirt from showing, but the manufacturer put a big sticker on it to warn against standing on the footstool and I can't remove it without tearing the plastic, and, (b) the feet have no cushion tips on the bottoms which will probably cause scratches on my hardwood floors.  I'll have to buy separate cushion tips to install to prevent scratching.  Otherwise, a good purchase and the small storage area under the lifted cushion will come in handy.
