This is a great little stool, more attractive than I expected. I got it for use as a footstool but it will be great for my granddaughter to play around with as well. The border has a nice burgundy/rust color to it that I had not expected. It's stable and just the right height.
I purchased this as a gift for someone at Christmas. He loves it. He carried it around all day tapping and patting on the drum. Announcing his arrival into every room. And, yes, this was a grown man.
This looks EXACTLY like the photos, I love it ! I want to thank the artisan for the skill and care clearly put into the piece. Its gonna sit on my desk and I will love it forever :)
