This is a basic, utilitarian footstool for the guitarist. The foot rest is sufficiently wide and covered with a rubber ribbed pad to keep the foot from sliding off. The legs are very stable and the rubber feet make it safe to use on wooden flooring and keep it from sliding. While it is not great looking like some wooden footstools (it doesn't have to be!!!), it is nicely made and completely functional and strong. Also folds nicely for travel. I expect this product will last a long time and is priced right.
