Bedside table
Date: 02/15/2010
I purchased a pair of these stools as bedside tables and they work beautifully. However, I placed a glass of water on the table (without a coaster, which was stupid) for barely five minutes and had a glaring water ring. I was surprised that the wood was damaged in that short period of time. I still love the table/stool, and I would highly recommend it. Just don't get water on it at all. I guess Larry David would say that I have no respect for wood. Oops.

great looking, versatile stools
Date: 02/10/2010
I've been looking for the right stools to place under my fresca console. I considered the axel stool, but wanted something natural looking to contrast with the white lacquered finish of the console table. These stools were the perfect match. I purchased three to place under the console and it looks fantastic. These can also be used for extra seating and if/when I decide to re-arrange furniture these can be used as end tables, bedside tables....etc. Great stools!!

Nice stool
Date: 11/12/2009
I was reluctant to buy this stool based on a previous review but I'm glad I took my chances. I'm currently using it as a bedside table. I am happy with my purchase.

perfect for what it is
Date: 09/03/2009
If you're looking for very small, sturdy, attractive object that can serve as additional seating or accent table -- and is well-priced -- and green (!) -- this is it. I have a sweet, little home with small rooms and eclectic furnishings. This helpful stool can be carried into any room and it looks great and functions beautifully. I like the patchwork look of the wood and the wax finish feels more luxurious than you'd expect at this price.

Do not buy online - too much variation in quality
Date: 07/27/2009
I purchased 2 of these at the CB2 store in Berkeley and later ordered 2 online when the store employees would not sell me the floor models. The ones purchased at the store are fine. The ones I received from the online purchase were made of poor materials. As these stools are made of reclaimed wood, one can expect variation. However, one of the online purchased stools had a large hole in the bottom of one of the legs - ruining any chance at structural integrity. The other had a thin, sharp piece of wood pasted to the top of the stool that had a chip out of it - in fact that stool seemed to be made more of wood putty than wood. If you buy in person, have the staff open the boxes so you can inspect the quality - highly variable.
