I was looking for a step stool for a library/wine cellar that would be functional, yet fit the feel of our library. This piece is perfect. I have a very old black secretary cabinet from china in the room and this has the same feel of that piece, with rubbed off edges...it looks like it has been in our family for generations. I love it.We have chosen to leave it in an open position near one of the tall bookcases, and it looks great. The idea that we have additional seating is a bonus.

I love this chair. It has made my daughter much more independent in the kitchen b/c now she can reach anything. It's sturdy as a ladder and comfortable as a chair.

This chair is solidly built and serves its purpose as boh seating and ladder perfectly. I particularly love that it arrives completely assembled. The only surprise was that the finish is a bit more "rustic" than I anticipated, with artificially worn areas. I still like it, but if you are looking for a chair that has a brand new look, this may not work for you.

I am using this in my walk in closet. It looks nice and is easy to use.

I was looking for a chair to match my kitchen's shabby chic black and white theme and then saw this one. It works perfectly. It came in one piece, without a need to assemble. It's a sturdy piece of furniture.
