... my bed and this little guy is more than perfect. I bought the 8" tall stool
I needed a boost up to my bed and this little guy is more than perfect.  I bought the 8&#34; tall stool.  For me, the 10&#34; would have been too tall as I have<br />knee and back problems. It is a lovely piece of furniture (much nicer than the picture shows) with medium to medium dark wood finish.  Also, the bench must have if not polyurethane, then something like it, finish.  In some socks your feet could slip, so barefoot is the best was to step on it.  Of course, shoes would be fine as well.  Obviously, great effort was spent to sand the wood completely smooth before applying finishes.  The edges are all equally beveled, the legs straight right angle corners yet come out at a slight angle from the top.  This provides greater security than if the legs came straight down.  Mine is on carpet, but I set it on a level base to see if it wobbles - it doesn't.  Conclusion: great workmanship, great looks, and great security from falls while keeping in mind the sock issue.  Kudos to the company.
