This stool is pleasant to the eye but so poorly constructed. The corners are not constructed properly.We made repairs to each corner but I'm still concerned about safety and it's hitting the burn pile. NO one should sit on this vanity stool. Not even a child. It truly should be removed from purchase. I wish I had read reviews before I bought it. Lesson learned. I will be reading reviews from here on out. I hope other Shabby Chic products are made better. I won't be finding out.
