Very pretty! And sturdy.
This is as pictured.  No weird smell, well made.  I got this because my dad broke his hip last January and fell in love with the one in the nursing home (which was huge -- I wasn't getting that size!)  I thought this might be good for propping up your legs, tying shoes etc.  It is.  Everyone loves it!  Nice canvas top, so it's spot washable. Good height for sitting for a rest, too.
