“Perfect size for a small space”

This is just the right size to fit neatly in so many places. I reflect on the meaning each day as I leave the door of my bedroom where it reminds me to look honestly at the past and remember its lessons in order to build a better future.

Im sitting on this as I speak, as I use it as my office chair. It is very comfortable and smooth. The quality is high and displays great care and workmanship from the artist. Everyone asks me where I got it. I am SO proud to show this item to my friends. I highly recommend this artist.
